    what are you on about, return of the jedi was the worst of the originals, the characters were far more unbelievable and stupid.
    the best one was the empire strikes back, but then again star wars was typical ripped off rubbish.
    thanks,

    ESB was really bad at the end, Cloud City, and then the carbonite twist...
    ROTJ was great.

    I must agree. That whole bit at the end when Han was frozen in the carbonite was just...yeah...
    ROTJ was the best of the original three.

    The last re-release in cinemas I recall was the release of the Special Edition to theaters in 1997.

    Rearding which one was the best - ESB, no question. ROTJ had some strong scenes but the Ewoks, which were a terrible contrast to the dark scenes on the Death Star, spoiled the movie

    Yes. The Ewoks were a horrible sign of the quality the prequels were going to have...

    I mean who on earth thinks them up? Let's have everyone being serious and getting killed, then a bunch of puppets beating up some apparently elite stormtroopers with polystyrene rocks. Now, if they have just all been gunned down hopelessly, that would have been better. Make the Empire look nice and cruel.

    Yeah the Ewoks were really stupid.
    But the Death Star Scenes and the Tatooine Scenes were da bomb!

    the scenes with the emperor were the best in ROTJ. especiallly when he is first introduced and comes out the shuttle as this small hunchbacked old thing compared to the gigantic vader and you think why is vader subservient to that.

    its a shocking scene because previously in TESB, the emperor's hologram had been 10 times the size of vader, and radiated power.

    and as the movie progresses, you realize that vader is just Action but the emperor is Thought that directs and manipulates the Action. and it is sublime. i still shed a tear every time he falls down that shaft.

    and then lucas brought the ewoks.

    it is like 2 completely different movies scrunched together. iago from othello meets the muppets.

    TESB is more consistent throughout, the empire wins in the beginiing at Hoth, and wins in the end at Bespin, luke fails against his inner demons in the swamp. threepio is ripped apart, and han is frozen, luke loses a hand but gains a evil father.
    indeed
