>tfw there are smelly kikes on THIS VERY BOARD who say TFA is better than ROTJ

It's not even a debate.
V > IV ≥ VII > VI > III > I > II
There's a 10 minutes clip of the final ROTJ confrontation on youtube that will give you a better viewing experience than the actual film

Don't be stupid
TFA doesn't compare to any of the OT. It's certainly better then any of the prequels of course but ROTJ is way more memorable and enjoyable to watch.

ROTJ had the advantage of building on an arc that spanned too great movies, so obviously the conclusion was powerful, but the movie as a whole is very uneven to put it charitably

True but TFA as a standalone movie doesn't really work the best either. It leaves a lot of sloppy questions and a poor ending.
>>63865856
Peaked Higher, Averaged lower, any other opinion is wrong, but it's matter of debate which of those two things is better.
Sure the Ewoks sucked, and Han and Lando felt like they were softened too much, but nothing tops the Death Star II scenes in ROTJ. Some of the best stuff in the entire saga.

consistency is not the same as quality.
tasteless gruel is not supposed to be acceptable as a recipe for a Star Wars film.
It's true, ROTJ is dragged down by all the Ewok scenes and has some prequel tier cinematography and directing in several conversations
Whereas TFA is just amazing from start to finish with only a couple of minor things to nitpick
TFA will never be better than ANH or ESB because it lacks originality that those two films had, but I'd rate it higher than ROTJ for the above reasons - you can clearly see Lucas had more creative control over ROTJ that the former two
>>63866111
I would rather have Ewoks in a movie then boring protagonists
Honestly if you fiddled with TFA script and perhaps got some different actors I think it had to potential to beat ROTJ

That was me, I did it just to upset you.
