Entire first act is completely centered around rescuing Han Solo

Why would they do this?

They had to unwrite the ultimate consequence of ESB, the loss of han solo, as fast as possible so they could start their action movie

>They had to unwrite the ultimate consequence of ESB, the loss of han solo
But that's interesting enough to be it's own movie, or even it's own miniseries.
Imagine episodes where Han Solo is just locked in the back of Boba Fetts ship.
The Cryo-dumb stuff can just melt on it's own* and Han is either strapped to a seat, or looking around Boba's ship trying to figure out where he is, and try to haggle or negotiate with Boba Fett.

Maybe you have Han, try and escape Boba's ship on a brief stop Boba makes before he reaches Jabba? Cool ideas were possible.
*(implying these rules are not as flexible as "muh Leia sister" ass-pull).

>muh trilogy

the Han Solo rescue was all to show how badass Luke had become to help pump up the final showdown

jabba's palace was the best part of that movie.

Harrison Ford had had enough of Star Wars by 1983 and didn't want to do many scenes for ROTJ

Not saying much, like saying corn you found in a piece of shit was the best part of eating it.

>Han is useless for the remainder of the film

Doesn't he lead the mission to blow up the shield generator?

there was no good part of the movie

jabba was stupid, luke could've slain everyone and saved 40 mins

ewoks were stupid

dude death star 2 LMAO was stupid

dude emperor dies by getting thrown down a shaft LMAO was stupid

vader turning back to the light was stupid

WEESA FREEEEE was stupid

force ghosts were stupid

you are stupid

>dude emperor dies by getting thrown down a shaft LMAO was stupid

>vader turning back to the light was stupid

these were the best part of the movie. What exactly did you like about star wars if you didn't find any enjoyment in this film?

Anybody could have done that. Han is a pilot. He should have been up there blowing up the death star.

>Doesn't he lead the mission to blow up the shield generator?
No. That was the bothans, and the team who acquired bothan plans.

Its not just the Ewoks. The entire plot structure fails on every level

>Hating RotJ is the new meme

Star Wars "fans" are the worst contrarions

ROTJ is full of tons of inexplicable story decisions. It really should've been the cannery in the coal mine for how weird and beguiling the prequels would be. It's like George Lucas gets high on cough syrup before he starts writing this shit.

REEEEEEEEEE JUST TURN YOUR BRAIN OFF

>cannery in the coal mine

uh i meant canary, for all intensive purposes in this doggy dog world

Absolutely KINO

>jabba was stupid, luke could've slain everyone and saved 40 mins
>luke could've slain everyone
You really don't understand these movies at all do you? Do you even know what a jedi is? Is all your knowledge of star wars from star wars battlefront?

Boba Fett never talks. Why would he negotiate with a debtor? He has no money.

>it's a "Sup Forums posters are so autustic they don't understand friendship" episode

Moot should have nuked this dump

Considering he massacred every single person associated with Jabba, I don't think it matters.

I love the Jabba sequence. If Star Wars was a serial like the ones it was inspired by, that would be a favourite chapter.

Ford wanted Han Solo to sacrifice himself for the rebel plan to succeed in Endor.

He got what he wanted in TFA though.

Ewoks were corny as fuck but there was nothing wrong with the story otherwise. The fuck you mean nigger? You can't just state something with no evidence to try and sound like you know what the fuck youre talking about

This is the key problem with ROTJ, the rescue was a colourful and exciting opening act but for the rest of the film, Han and Leia had nothing to do.

>He blows up the shield generator
He has this basic plot point to fulfil but his character doesn't change in any way.

This is why Ford was so done with the series after Jedi. His character simply ran around in the woods.

Ford is an actor first and foremost, he doesn't want to discuss the larger plot about the Force or the Empire. He just wants to know what his character is feeling and the reason behind his actions. In Jedi they copped out by simply giving his character some basic action. It was boring for him to perform.

In the original they solved the problem of Obi Wan having nothing to for the last act by killing him which added an emotional impact to the film.

The original plan was Han would die during some sort of raid, which would be even more tragic since they just rescued him after being frozen in carbonite for however many years.

The first character for moment for Han is when he kills Greedo. We learn in that moment he is a dangerous man who will shoot first to save his own skin. It makes sense for his character to arc to end with him giving his life to save the ones he loves.

It would be a bittersweet ending for Leia since the rebellion she’s spent her whole life focused on has finally prevailed but she’s lost the only man she’s ever loved.

But George ruined this because he wanted a happy ending with a family photo at a teddy bear picnic.

Ultimately the Ewoks are a superficial flaw. The real downfall is not giving 2 of our 3 heroes satisfying conclusions. The Vader/Luke scenes give us a perfect ending for our main protagonist/antagonist which keeps the movie from being a total failure.

George should never have been given the power to fire Gary Kurtz. Without being reigned in we get the prequels. Based Kurtz forever.

What an exciting adventurous high spirited opening that would have been! Luke murdering Jabba's entire court! Yay!

Go watch the Revenge of the SIth fight again.

>I slaughtered them like Muppets

Hi JJ! I know you don't like ROTJ, you should have just shitposted about it here instead of undoing the whole movie in episode 7.
