Been doing the Star Wars re-releases each week with the family, which means Return of the Jedi is the next cab off the rank. As a child, it was heads-and-shoulders my favourite, with The Empire Strikes Back clearly in last place.
Perception of craft and detail and structure does wonders with age. Watching it last week, it is kind of remarkable how significantly more mature it is than the original entry from a technician's standpoint. Lucas very much a fan of vision, but perhaps - unlike his good friend Spielberg - a man never quite capable of putting it into practice. I'd understand how a newcomer starting at A New Hope may have no interest in carrying on.
