I've been reading alot of the fanedit forum's chat about proposed changes to ROTJ, dissatisfaction with the film and about the prequels being better.

I guess I'm in the minority but by the slimest of margins I rate ROTJ as superior to ESB and the notion that ROTJ is inferior to the visual abortions that are the theatrical cuts of the PT seems like mass insanity.

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 know on paper ESB is technicaly a better film but the tingles down my spine, wide eyed joy and warm fuzzy feeling elicited by ROTJ tell me different.

So I wanna hear from you ROTJ haters as to why you do hate it and I also wanna hear from those like me who love it. Importantly I wanna hear why you love it because honestly I'm not 100% sure why I love it so much!

You state that you know that ESB is technically a better film but you are not 100% sure why you love ROTJ so much but I think you pretty much explain why you favor ROTJ over ESB - it's called Nostalgia.

Personally I consider it to be a piss poor continuation and sequel to ESB but I can't say that I hate it, I just don't watch it. In my mind it just wasn't the sequel that a film like ESB demanded. In my mind we never got the true continuation, just a wrap up party in the woods that treated all the great narrative, set up and plotting of ESB as something of a chore Lucas now had to deal with. I still to this day cannot understand how some found ROTJ to be a satisfying sequel and at the same time attacked Phantom Menace.

You got the bit where I said it was my opinion right?

I believe you are a hipster and are following some sort of a trend. ;)

If you want to talk soap the whole Leia, Han, Luke triangle is pure soap.

I've actually seen daytime soap operas with much better drama and acting than what is seen in the Leia/Luke conversation in the Ewok village. :)
