This thread turned from i hate the prequels to i hate return of the jedi really fast. And i pretty much could see it coming.

I wonder if Rinzler's book will even shed some light on how much of the film is Marquand and How much is Lucas. How much second unit directing did Lucas really do did he really direct the picture as people have long accused etc.

When Jedi made more money than Empire did Lucas feel vindicated? When it found a larger audience of children who hated Empire because it was slow plodding and boring and too adult did he feel like he had his finger on the pulse of his audience and understood them better than Kershner?

I like Jedi but i also realize if a picture makes more money does not necessarily mean it is critically a better film. Is so the Bayformers trilogy and the star wars prequels are some of the best films ever made alongside Kingdom of the crystal skull.
