thats it. They're still so seething about how it 'destroyed the canon' or whatever. Its got to be some of the most weird form of movie brain worms that they just hated that movie instead of Revenge of Skywalker or whatever it was called, which was one of the worst movies of all time.
Return of the Jedi is also bad
it's the weakest original, sure but it's not the unhinged unfiltered lucas ess of the prequels or the brain rot of the mismanaged jj abrams trash sequels
I sat down and watched the fan restored versions of the original three movies some years ago and the third one was such a letdown and a massive step down in quality. While the entire series is obviously aimed at kids and adolescents, its tone felt like a cheap TV special aimed at first graders. Aside from a few fun special effects sequences and the character of the Emperor it just kind of sucked from top to bottom.
In terms of overall quality I'd honestly rank the first sequel movie above it
