Star Wars was never meant to be subtle, Lucas set out to pay with our ingrained cultural tropes (Deviating from this is partly why the PT struggled). 


I disagree. A talented writer could have made the PT a pessimistic saga steeped in moral ambiguity/relativism and still made it good. George isn't a talented writer, however, and that is why the PT we got is a complete failure.

 

In terms of overall quality, ROTJ was a total contradiction to ESB. And it shouldn't have been. It should've followed the same tone and feel that empire had. Otherwise, IMO, you may aswell be watching two totally unrelated films. It was a complete 180, and it was no wonder Kasdan didnt want anything to with the PT. Dont get me wrong, Jedi did have some good stuff in there and ill always enjoy watching it. But always with that hint of regret that it could've been so much better.
