I’ve seen a couple reviews (neither I’d really trust, though) that say TFA is better than ROTJ. I can easily believe it’s better then ROTJ:SE, and am open to the possibility that it may even be better than ANH:SE, but if it actually surpasses any of the actual original trilogy, I’d be very pleasantly surprised and may give it a rental after all.

Then again, one of those reviewers also said ROTS was the best of the prequels, so that’s pretty disqualifying. Still waiting for more reviews to come in (mostly from friends).

I would say it equals or slightly beats Rotj (original). Like Jedi, it stumbles from time to time, but it’s still a great film on the whole. Go see it in theaters!

I hated the PT in theaters, so this isn’t just SW nostalgia. Ironically enough, it’s the nostalgia that bogs the film down the most. Its original content is great.
