Interesting, and understandable. I agree that once you watch it objectively, it sort of loses a bit of its luster. While I really like ROTJ, the problem for me is that it hits a brick wall about an hour into the movie. They wander the forest, then they get captured, then they almost get roasted, then they befriend the ewoks, then they tell stories, blah blah blah. I usually find myself fast forwarding from Luke leaving Degobah until where Luke and Vader hook up on Endor. I wouldn't dream of fast forwarding through ANH or ESB.

On a side note, I always found the scene where the Executor slams into the death star to be the worst effect in the entire trilogy. I can't for the life of me understand how GL can decide other effects are antiquated while that one gets to stay.
