Okay, let’s review: There was ONE Star Wars movie. One. And it was the greatest movie in the history of the universe.
Everything else is just fan fiction tacked on by LucasDisneyCorpMagicProductionsRanch because the original movie was too perfect for this world, and had to be destroyed by all means necessary.
You can take all that crap and GTFO. G’wan! Get!
Oh - ah, leave the original Kenner action figures, though. Those are cool.
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
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.
Then - later - much later, after everything blew up bigger than anyone imagined and the entire zeitgeist changed as a result, started telling people that “all along” it was this bigger story arc and he had such-and-so in mind the whole time.
Fires randomly into the ceiling

ESB is better than SW.
Irvin Kershner, Lawrence Kasdan, and John Williams did a fantastic job.

Lies! Blasphemer!
If you think that ESB was fan fiction that’s wild
Lucas wrote and barely got finished one SW movie.

Bullshit.
