YOU DON'T FUCK WITH YODA

Jedi is an incredibly badly paced film. It sticks out in the OT like a sore thumb or stupid step-brother. The simple recycling of the Death Star, the return to Tattooine (something that really irked me about the prequels, as well), the absolutely bored Harrison Ford acting and the "rabbit out of the hat" trick for Leia as Luke's sister.

ROTJ has one thing going for it - and thats the attack on the Death Star, which is spectacular.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Be very, very careful of fanscripts. There was an Episode III script floating around on the internet since the early 1990s that featured the Kaiburr Crystal and Fett serving Vader as some kind of offical right-hand man.

Chances are what you found was BS. However, if any of you are interested in SW history, T-Bone's website is really, really great. http://www.starwarz.com/

There's nowhere I can't reach.
