Several months ago, a friend of mine and I sat down and watched the special edition trilogy of Star Wars films. Not surprisingly, the original I still consider to be one of my favorite films of all time... unfortunately, the same cannot be said of Return of the Jedi (although Empire actually seemed a LOT better than I remember).
Both of us were shocked at how truly bad a film this is. The blatant catering to kids is just one of the short-comings (albeit probably the most annoying), but the awful acting of Harrison Ford, the terrible dialogue, the poor storyline all add up to a movie which really doesn't stand the test of time and growing up.
Does it matter? Not really... Star Wars is still my favorite film... it's just sad when those old memories just don't quite seem to hold up.
