It might be sacrilegious but I love jedi, except for the muppets.

Max Rebo really shit me even in 1983... really a foam-rubber blue elephant that is obvioulsy randomly hitting keys, Droopy McCool also clearly not playing the instrument and Sy Snootles so obviously not able to to stand on her own. It felt lazy when the rest of the SW trilogy was relatively realistic with its character and prop designs. They looked terrible and the music was rooted in the early 80s.

Most of the rest of the film I loved, the adrenaline rush of the speeder bikes, the insanely busy space battle scenes, the Falcon barely outrunning the DeathStar flameout, yoda looked great, the emporer looked nice and ancient and evil, I can even cope with the ewoks, but that musical number and the associated characters really seemed below par.
