I don’t agree with anything impscum says ever so don’t take this as an endorsement of his point…nor do I agree with the thread I’m going to mention…but there is a thread here where a few people argue that ROTJ is the best SW film.

People will argue for anything these days lol

You’d have to ignore a lot of shortcomings to come to such a conclusion. Such as:

  • Ewoks and the effect they have on the pacing
  • Ewoks (somehow) being instrumental in the Battle of Endor
  • Luke going back to Degobah to “complete” his training but then is told he already knows what he needs so that Yoda can have a forced death scene
  • Not getting an explanation as to how Luke got so powerful between ESB and ROTJ without finishing his training
  • Making Ben into a liar and attempting to justify said lying
  • Luke finds out Leia is his sister out of no where
  • Leia being Luke’s sister is not only gross but it creates a plot hole in STAR WARS because how could Vader not sense she was Force Sensitive when he tortured her?
  • Death Star rehash that’s way more overt than Star Killer Base
  • Luke’s “temptation” is only Palpatine saying “Your friends are going to die”

Do I even need to continue?

TFA has it’s fair share of problems but a lot of them aren’t surface layer stuff like in ROTJ and a lot of the complaints I’ve heard about the film were from people who were nitpicking or didn’t understand the film at all.
