Agreed! Don’t even get me started on the prequels. It’s my opinion that Star Wars fell apart with ROTJ. Leia is Luke’s sister-WHAT!!?? Cutesy furballs who can take on “elite” stormtroopers—WTH! Leia’s “I always knew.” Really!!? And you kissed your brother anyway in ESB? Ugh. Han Solo’s 90210 immature acting (”Well, if that’s the way you really feel about it, hmph”). Retreaded ideas—ANOTHER DEATH STAR!! And it’s BIGGER! Ooh. Yay.
Bad cinematography was it’s biggest downfall. The first two movies look gritty and real. ROTJ looks like someone took some Windex to everything and cleaned it up. I mean, even Jabba’s palace looked hokey.
Stupid. Just stupid.
Parts of ROTJ I liked, such as Jabba and his lair. But even that got screwed up in the Special Edition. In the original their is a great scene where Jabba forces a green slave girl to dance, becomes displeased with her, and drops her into the Rancor Beast pit. The Slave Girl's dance is sexy and tense. In the Special Edition, much of the dance scene is replaced with special effects shots of, furry, cute, muppet-like creatures playing some jazz-riff version of the original slave dance music. It completely kills the tension of the original version and replaces it with silly comedy.
