I can't think of any moments in ESB or ANH that have me grinning like a kid again as some of the sequences in ROTJ.

I can see that line of thinking, but I don't watch films to feel like a kid again. I want to enjoy films through the eyes of an adult and ROTJs slapstick silliness and general goofiness (which isn't a part of the previous 2 films) makes that difficult. Something I love about Star Wars and Empire is that they are films I loved as a child and they really grew up with me. As I grew older, I found different things to appreciate about the story, the characters and the situations. ROTJ has so many silly moments, scenarios and characters that I feel like I'm watching a movie designed to sell action figures, plastic lunchboxes and plush dolls to little kids.
