What ruined ROTJ for me was an interview with Lucas where he said the battle with the Ewoks was a parable about Vietnam where this technologically unsophisticated society defeats the overwhelming force of a technologically advanced invader. He forgot to have some OTHER technologically advanced society provide the EWOKs with surface to air missiles. Or maybe that makes the Rebel Alliance equivalent to the Soviets?
Watch again the scene after the speeder bike crash. The two storm troopers are talking exactly like badly stereotyped U.S. soldiers. Especially after being given an order one of them barks “Yes Sir”. All that was missing was an “ooo rah”.
