It’s pretty crappy but Mark and Ian lift it from being as bad as the prequels.
I see it as the contractual obligation album of the original films.
Dull direction, tatty production design, inconsistent quality control on the effects (some amazing, some utterly awful). Phoned in performances from almost everyone. Every loose end knotted in ridiculously convenient ways (Yoda’s death scene is astonishingly mishandled). Some it makes no sense at all, what is Luke’s plan to rescue Han? Think about it and explain it to me please because it’s been bugging me since 1983.
That’s my position but if you thumb through this thread you will see others :http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/ROTJ-is-the-best-Star-Wars-film-discuss/id/15430
