Hear hear. I'm tired of ROTJ getting shit on so much now. Feels like a relatively modern thing.

It is... mostly online Youtubers millenials that grew up in the dark edgy era hating on the Jabba's Palace swashbuckling and a massive hate boner for Ewoks.

The thing is... the Jabbas Palace stuff is like the purest distillation of Star Wars in the entire series. It's high adventure, it's got weird alien characters and swashbuckling and monsters and weird futuristic weapons and Jedi force powers.

While I was never a big Ewok fan even as a kid, they are probably the weakest element in the movie, but if we swapped them out for something big like Wookies and ran the exact same plot - I think people would stop complaining.

Then you have the final act and Luke creating a third alternative to defeat the Emperor, and I stand by that is the best part of the entire franchise - and then seeing how Anakin failed and took the opposite path in the third prequel makes it even more significant.
