It's insanely cheap story telling.

Everything else is just by the numbers (just like the PT).

These two sentence (while I understand they are being your opinion) make no sense at all. Care to elaborate on them? And please if you could go a little deeper than the usual insignificant Ewok stuff.

Also I didn't get the reply on the "ROTJ indicating the SE" thing. I would be happy if you could reply on that.

I only mentioned the Ewoks in the sense that they point to Jar-Jar and don't make sense in their current form (I like the idea of them but not it's execution).

If they were only obeying their God on the day where did all the traps come from?

They must have been fighting the Empire for months but we see no evidence of it and why be spooked by Threepio?

A gold man in a flying chair is not more startling than white plastic men in flying chairs and giant metal chicken things or a new moon growing in the sky.

By cheap story telling I mean ticking off and clearing every possible hanging thread.

That never happens in real life and when it happens all in the last chapter it's clunky, unsophisticated and rubbish.

By by the numbers I mean almost everyone other than Mark and Ian just winging it.

Waiting for the paycheck.

In the first two films the actors played characters in Jedi most of them are just guest stars in a spoof playing themselves.

The thing looks cheap and nasty too for the reasons I've already mentioned.

It's propelled mostly on the momentum of nostalgia for the earlier films which told a story with people in.
