It was actually very good, and the overall best of the Star Wars franchise.

This surprises me

I was expecting something like "Episode 1/2 is the best".

i reviewed it here, if you're interested in my thoughts

not a proper review but w/e

Not bad, I feel the same. Still disagree with your opinion on episode 1 being a freaking 6, and 5 being a FREAKING 3, but the other scores feel pretty solid.

I just re-watched them all recently (last time I did was years ago) and I fell into the typical "5 is fav" thing. 3 being a close second. 6 used to be my favorite but after re-watching it just eh. The 2nd Death Star (I'm sick of them relying on that damn thing) and the Ewok thing on Endor was just blech to me. However the throne room thing and how they captured Luke's anger perfectly (along with how similar he acted to his father at the beginning (literally saying "don't underestimate my power), shows he was on the path to the dark side), really felt nice along with the Emperor and Vader redeeming himself.

It really shows the direction is done well when you can capture the emotion on a face covered in a mask. Him looking between the Emperor and Luke really captured his conflicting emotions well and that is very hard to capture without seeing someones actual face.
