When it's that good, it does. The space fight around it is really good, too.
no, it doesn't. "one great scene redeems an entire movie" is nonsensical. it's the same reason why up is a shit movie, even though the opening scene is amazing.
RotJ is a mixed bag. there's plenty of good stuff in it: the throne room scene, jabba's palace, the speeder chase, the space battle (second best space battle in all of the movies imo). but the ewoks are terrible and "oh here's another death star lol" is unforgivably lazy writing. i've softened up on RotJ and don't dislike it anymore but it's obviously not the best star wars movie.
and yeah, RotJ is definitely the movie that suffered the most from the special edition additions. that song is easily a bottom 5 star wars movie scene.
