I know that this opinion is going to be unpopular here (when has that ever stopped me haha) but I actually enjoy ROTJ more than I enjoy TESB.

I recognise that TESB is a better film technically but ROTJ has much better replayability for me, I find it a lot more entertaining and upbeat, like Star Wars. TESB I find very bleak and humourless by comparison, albeit brilliant in its own way as a sobering wakeup call to the Rebel Alliance.

Star Wars is definately my favourite, followed by ROTJ and then TESB in last place. I think humour as well as drama is an integral part of Star Wars films. I just hope JJ Abrams hasn't forgotten to include humour in the new film coming out, everything seems pretty dramatic and grim in those teasers, those lighter touches are also really important in the SW films. Star Wars would have lost so much of its appeal without the fantastic bickering of the droids and banter between three main leads IMHO.
