Arguably, the entire script is literary malpractice. 😉

I would disagree. Sure, there are some things which in retrospect I agree should be changed. Some of the dialogue is poorly written. “It’s over, Anakin. I have the high ground,” “Only a Sith deals in absolutes,” “She has lost the will to live,” ect. R2-D2 should not be able to fly, Yoda should not need a lightsaber, Jar Jar should be absent, Anakin should kill fully trained Jedi and not children, ect.

Lucas was stuck with the line Leia uttered in 1983, and he couldn’t reconcile it? (Or change it for the SE?) Whether or not you liked ROTJ is beside the point. It was made first, and the prequels should fit the OT, not the other way around.

There is some merit to this argument.

The biggest April Fool’s was all the misleading promotional stuff promising Vader in the suit doing something more interesting than what we actually got.

That is probably true.
