      ESB is Star Wars. Every second of that movie is soaked in adventure, friendship and cool space shit. Return of the Jedi is noticeably worse and honestly if not for brilliant Vader Luke action it would be just ok. Of course if rotj is just ok then the prequels are b cinema which honestly they kinda are

        And hair mousse. Plus torture.

        It’s tacked-on. It’s weird. It’s not cool except that all the originals are in it and they’re still using actual movie magic and not CGI.

        If you have to have more, it’s fine. But let’s not kid ourselves - it was an afterthought. Anyone who buys Lucas’ story that he had it in mind as a trilogy all along is kidding themselves.
