Han is no longer a reckless, selfish rogue; he defers to others, apologizes when needed, and is a true soldier.

Yes, the Han who has found friends (ANH), love (ESB) and been almost literally reborn from death (ROTJ) is a better person and we see that in the last film. I hadn't quite realised how well this played before.

I respect the Ewoks for the cute, terrifying insurgent fighters they are.

I probablly wouldn't put it quite as strongly as that ;-) but, yeah I never quite got the "Ewoks are cutesy" orthodoxy. They spend half the movie trying to capture, burn alive and eat our heroes, then the rest fighting a hopeless battle against impossible odds. Sure they look like bears but that is where the cute begins and ends.

Most of all, it's just so, so cathartic.

Totally.

Jedi all the way. Can't wait for the 2.0 of Harmy's Despecialized and Team Negative One's first version of their 35mm scan.

ROTJ is the most heavily molested by the various SE changes. I cannot wait for his future upgrades and the work of others. Just seeing Jabba's Palace in HD would be enough.
