Time
Oh well, maybe it is longer than 5 days but I don't think so.

Day 1:
Vader arives on DSII/C-3PO and R2 meet up with Jabba, C-3PO is put in the audiance chamber and Leia and Chewie show up

Day 2:
(early AM) Leia frees Han, Luke shows up later that morning, Sarlac Pit adventure, (evening) gang departs planet

Day 3:
Emperor arives, Luke meets up with Yoda/mourn/talk with Obi-Wan

Day 4:
Rebel meeting, Luke returns, gang takes off in shuttle, lands on Endor, exciting speeder bike adventure, (evening) meet up with Ewoks and party, Luke leaves

Day 5:
(early AM) Luke meets up with Vader, Vader and Luke leave planet to see Emperor, Han and swat team take behind bunker, exciting Endor battle ensues, Luke is tempted by the Dark Side all afternoon, Rebel fleet arive (it's Trap!), bunker explodes, Vader dies, Luke wins
(late evening) celebration party, Vader's funeral pyre, Luke and gang pose for picture and credits

One scene (and it only lasts like 2 seconds) is when Yoda is fighting the Emperor in the senate chamber and the camera slowly rotates as the center platform rises above all the empty senater seats with both characters' sabers flying as the music swells.

Now that is a mighty fine scene right there. So much is said in such a small amount of time. You can see that the fight is more than just a battle between two opposing fighters.

Too bad that only 2 seconds of a 170 minute movie are of any poignant quality.

I don't understand the EU, let alone the alternate universe EU.

I was in the bookstore a few months ago and found a graphic novel of Return of the Jedi, except that...it wasn't ROTJ. It was some sort of weird Twilight Zone of the movie where there were two Luke Skywalkers, and a whole bunch of other shit that didn't make sense.

The story was the same, mostly, but the plot was all different. Leia and a couple of other people blew up Jabba's place (not just the sail barge), Luke battled Vader, but Leia was on the Death Star as well, then later Luke and Leia hook up or something. It was a whole bunch of messed up shit and I was looking at it going, "WTF is this?!"

How the hell does this crap get published? And even worse, who buys it?

I just will never be able to live down the fact that Grevious sounds like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. I can't stand ROTS anymore because of that damn General character. He was a waste of space and screen time. He didn't movie the plot along and had he disapeared very little of the story would have changed.
