I would also like to add that I think some of the individual moments in ROTJ are better than those in SW or ESB (particularly between emperor/vader/Luke), but that the overall film was not better. I’m kind of expecting this from TFA as well. I’m almost sure there will be some phenomenal moments within the film that rival those in the OT, but the film overall I think won’t quite be up to that caliber. Once again, that doesn’t mean I think it’ll suck, far from it. It would be a challenge for almost any movie to compete with Empire. Saying “not quite as good as empire” is basically saying “it was a damn good flick.”
