its just IMO. i thought the ewoks were stupid, there was no action from the death of jabba to the final attack. the whole thing that leia is suddenly a jedi sister was retarded & pointless. what did that revelation add to the story? only that Han was relieved when he was no longer competing for Leias pussy.
i am not exactly alone on this cause rottentomatoes lists episode 4 at 93%, episode 5 at 96% & episode 6 at 78%.
i do however agree that leia in a bikini did start the movie off well.

Revealing that Leia was Luke's sister meant that Vader could use the knowledge to enrage him and lead him on the path to the Dark Side. When it didn't work, the Emperor found Luke expendible, since he had a twin. That set in motion Vader's redemption.
Over the years, seeing many of the documentaries on the making of Star Wars, I'm of the opinion that the movies were great in spite of George Lucas. It seems that the more creative control he got, the cheesier it got. Case in point, Ewoks, the "Special Editions" effects added later. And the last 3 movies. I had hoped Disney and Abrams would have learned from the franchises past mistakes, I'm still holding on to a glimmer of hope though.
