For me, the real problem with Jedi is that, story wise, it only does two things: tie up loose ends in a not so flattering fashion and finish Luke’s story.
That’s a plus and a minus to me. I still enjoy the film, but I can feel how threadbare and problematic it is. As such, I’m glad it uses whatever gusto it still can muster to wrap up the story of Star Wars. In many ways, it was very gutsy for Lucas to say farewell to the Star Wars galaxy with Jedi, and then just pack it up and go home. After the runaway success of the Star Wars films (even Jedi), he’d certainly have been tempted to make more films, even after the inspiration and care behind these films had been thoroughly burnt out. I hate to think about what might have been.
