I have more or less the same problem with that part of ROTJ, but I think at that point in the trilogy you either accept the fairy-tale vocabulary or you just won’t learn to appreciate the original trilogy.

Though yes, for a lot of time it bothered me and felt out of place somehow. Particularly the line “It’s to late for me, son”. That just sounds like an addict’s words instead of someone who does what he does with conviction.

And then there’s Hamill’s strange delivery of the line “theconflicwithinyouletgooffyourhate”.

Aaaand the scenery. Though it is to be said that in general the OT has an accurate sense of scale which generally fits the mood and importance of what’s happening on screen, ROTJ falls short on this (not that I’m asking for a gazilion-metres-long bridge over a pit with a samurai standing on one end and a single beam of light passing trough a window to illuminate the good guy…)
