What a disappointment. I always try to be positive about these movies and focus on the bright side but this one is really trying. This is a follow up to Empire!

Best part is Jabba's court. Just a wonderful display of imagination and technical wizardry. Jabba himself is maybe the most amazing creature in all of Star Wars. John Williams new score is worthy of the rest of the series - a no brainer.

Almost everything else is a dud. So boring. Even the throne room scene, to be honest. It's got iconography going for it. A legendary confrontation. But like everything else going on, it feels perfunctory and limp. Endor is a dead zone. Han Solo is a eunuch. The attack on Death Star 2 feels like one last ride, been there done that. That all this stuff is Star Wars - the Falcon, lightsabers, Boba Fett - helps it slide but it shouldn't come down to that.

Guys I honestly have a better time watching The Phantom Menace.

Well all of Star Wars is horrendously overrated, but I'd probably say Return of the Jedi is significantly better than Phantom Menace, as much as I enjoyed PM since I was a kid when I watched it

It is bad ass though when Luke is on the plank and warns them this is their last chance.

Ewoks
Incest
The whole beginning with Jabba was unnecessary (should have just killed Han in ESB)
Weak final fight

Rogue One is not for me. Even more of a slog than ROTJ.

I take no joy in preferring TPM. But at least that is a movie that knows it's a look at something a newer. It's fresh jumping to a new time and place and is driven by the nature of being a prequel - the feeling that a storm is brewing.

I hate your faux opinion of RotJ as much as you hate sand.

I wish it was faux. I want to love it. I think I'm more than fair to all Star Wars movies

Jedi is a LOT of Muppets and Ewoks. I can definitely see how it would turn people off. That's the kind of shit I love about Star Wars though.

Besides the Luke and Vader stuff, I felt that way too. Its laughable but Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher are just like fuck it in that one (maybe cause they were all coked out?) but yeah that one felt shoehorned in.

Vader and Luke stuff was epic and saves the movie. Everything else is kinda meh.
