I do have to take you up on your apparent presumption that you speak for an entire generation of fans. I was five when I saw Star Wars in 1977 (although it's been called A New Hope since 1980 so I think we can get over that now) and I didn't care much for its sequel at the time, believing it to be dull - indeed, it still sticks out like a sore thumb in the series as it has little of what made the first film so great. I have always preferred Jedi to Empire and I think you're kidding yourself if you think Empire is the only film without flaws; all the films are flawed but so what, no film is perfect.

That might not be the popular opinion here but I'm not too bothered about that :)

Of course I was generalizing, but EVERYONE I know in real life feels this way. I don't go by who said what on the internet, because god knows how many people have fake accounts, and you really don't know who you are talking to sometimes. ;)

I was just talking to my friends this weekend about the new movie, and EVERYONE said, "I hope it will be another Empire, but probably not!"

If you feel ROTJ is better then ESB, that is your opinion and you have a total right to your opinion.

And please stop with the little backhanded comments 'I think we can get over that now' concerning SW being called A New Hope. Nobody I know calls it 'A New Hope' as its always been called Star Wars by the majority of the fanbase that grew up with it. ;)
