But in that case, your "losing faith in that makes little sense" observation was pretty redundant, yar?
As somebody who could suddenly get really hyped for a birthday party a month away just by seeing balloons, I can safely say that what builds and diminishes my anticipation of something could be really illogical.
Edit: I hope I don't come off as a nitpick contrarily or something. I'm just making whimsical conversation.
Star Wars characters can either listen to this or Jizz.

Every Star Wars fan needs to see the Holiday Special once. It's a right of passage. It will change your view on life and this universe.
Can't do it. Tried once, can't do it.

Real fans of Star Wars like all of the movies. If you don't like the special, you're not a true fan.

No.
(you're alright, Scrooge)
There are podcasts I listen to that sound JUST like this.
Well, maybe not JUST like that. But close.
What the fuck...
The best part is that the old EU actually decided it was a good idea to respect all the stuff the special added to the universe.
"Lumpy huh? I´ll put him in my novels, but with his full name Lumpawarrump! MAN NERDS ARE GONNA LOVE MY BOOKS!!"

Watching the Holiday Special with grow hair on your chest. If you can get through it, you'll be more manly than the most interesting man in the world Dos Equis dude.

Old EU. RIP. You were such a source of amusement for those of us that only cared about what we saw in the movies.

I can imagine. Every franchise has those type of fans and it's so irritating. The concept of a "true fan" and trying to define other people's interests is so odd to me.

Oh right the holiday special. I guess I am human after all. Bea Arthur though.

There's no call for this, man.
YOU DIDN'T NEED TO DO THIS
Damn, Mark Hamill looks rough in the Holiday Special. That was after the accident he had, yes?

To think, George Lucas tried to destroy all copies of this. George failed at this worse than the he failed at the prequels. This will live on forever and aliens will see this long after life on earth ceases to exist.
What have you done....

God, Harrison Ford's line delivery really bums me out. I just want to give him a hug.

It's the worst thing since bagpipes.
It's the most disappointing thing since my son.
Jawas are cuter.

What do you think the Ewoks were smoking in those pipes?

Well to be fair everyone knew most of that anyway.
I really like the 3 teaser. Good use of old footage.

ROTJ is definitely a flawed film. But worse than the prequels? Absolutely not.
Jabbas palace bores the fuck out of me, nothing really happens in the middle. But 2/3 of the ending, my god they are so great. The space battle is epic, as is the entirety of the Emperors chamber scenes.
Its helped a ton by the fact that we really care about the characters thanks to the previous films (even though Han and Leia are ehhhhhhhhhhh in this one.).
It's a below average movie in a universe that I LOVE and a fantastic ending and soundtrack.
*Ewoks and the ground battle of Endor SUCK

And yet the saga was not complete.

I'm watching all the old lightsaber battles and the Ep 1 and 2 ones... are just terrible. There's no tension, the camera is dead still the entire time, and there's no sense that someone is getting the upper hand in the fight. It's just dudes wailing sticks at each other until someone uncharacteristically leaves themself wide open for a killing blow.
Im really interested in what the guys from The Raid brought to the table for this one. I never got tired of watching the fight scenes from both movies

This thread made me rewatch AOTC for shits and giggles. You know what was worst? Anakin Force geeding Padme a slice of aplle. Evwrything about that scene is complete shit. Just how Lucas? What in the fuck?

Phantom Menace gets too much hate in a reality where AOTC exists.
Jar Jar for me is ''fine''. He doesn't ruin the movie, he is just stupid. AOTC Anakin however is unbearable.

Only in Star Wars could force feeding have more than one meaning
It's so obnoxious the way that scene's staged -- Anakin fucking takes it away from her, takes his time to slice it while gloating over how cool it is to slice fruit with his mind, then floats it back, it saved no time whatsoever. What a douche.

The guy who made the Han's Flashback remix knocked out something called Luke's Vision. Same general idea, different twist. Editing's better on this one than it was on the Flashback one, actually.

May I have a cookie?
I know I'm late to this discussion, but just wanted to point out that the scenes you mention from ROTS are each like a single minute long, maybe two minutes max, whereas the ROTJ scenes are 5-10 minutes each.
