I was actually closer to walking out on Return Of The Jedi, but didn't. It was also shockingly stupid and poorly written, but at least it had Luke. The rest was just a marketing tie-in and rehash of Star Wars. Lucas already had the writer's block he was about to unsuccessfully spend twenty years trying to overcome. ROTJ is where I said goodbye to the franchise.

That's interesting. I can definitely understand that, especially seeing it in a theatre with the expectation that it would be in the same league as its two predecessors. Since I grew up with Jedi and didn't come to the conclusion that it was lesser than the other two until I was in my early teens, I didn't have to live with the disappointment of seeing ROTJ as an adult with the expectation of it being an excellent conclusion to the trilogy.
