Stop treating your opinion as objective fact or you’re gonna have a rough time.

It’s not my opinion, it’s called not being narrow-minded and deluded by nostalgia.
From a technical standpoint the screenshot of TPM looks more real than that of ROTJ, which is ultimately what the filmmakers were aiming for: amazing special effects that felt real.

Star Wars isn’t some weird trippy arthouse film, it’s a Hollywood blockbuster, the effects of which are supposed to be convincing, and the shot from TPM is objectively more convincing than that of ROTJ.

And the fact that ESB has considerably better SFX than ROTJ across the board doesn’t help.

Nobody cares if you prefer the way ROTJ looks, but being arrogant and stubborn about it just because you don’t like another movie doesn’t make you right.
