ROTJ entertained and continues to entertain, ROTS didn't. In an ideal world, and knowing what we now know about the movie business, ROTJ should have been split into two movies, like the Martix or Kill Bill, one part dealing with Han's rescue and Jabba's undoing, whereas the other would have focused on Luke's continued training for the confrontation with the Emperor and Vader, then the space battle. The elements are there, they just need tweaking.
An entire movie dedicated to rescuing Han from Jabba? Have you lost your mind? There are so many things in Jabba's palace that just don't work or make any sense, such as:
1. Luke uses force grip to choke the guards. I'm pretty sure Jedi aren't supposed to use this, and who the hell trained him how to do it anyway? Yoda?
2. The fact that Luke has this "great plan" to rescue Han, yet all he does is show up and attempt to use the Jedi Mind trick on Jabba. Well thought out!
3. Droids being tortured.
4. Lando, who probably was on Jabba's hit list at one point, manages to sneak in and become one of the guards by using the worst disguise ever! It's so obvious it is him!
5. The singing. Can't say I am a big fan of "Jedi Rocks".
6. Boba Fett's fluke death. Reminds me of how Anakin destroyed the Droid Control Ship in TPM.
7. Han holding no grudge vs. Lando for completely betraying him. I understand Lando is trying to save his life, but you would expect Han would at least make a comment regarding Lando's betrayal after he was released from the carbon freeze.
8. If Jabba had any brains, then why didn't he just get his guards to shoot Han, Luke, and Chewie? Like Count Dooku and the Geonosis Arena in AOTC, Jabba must have really had his mind set on feeding them to the Sarlaac Pit.
9. In general, the whole sequence of events in Jabba's palace is just plain silly and extremely boring. There's a reason why ESB is the best movie.... there is NO Tatooine in it. Tatooine is such a boring setting for anything to take place.
