Re: 1/6 Hot Toys Boba Fett... or maybe 1/4?
I was 13 too. I remember being excited about seeing ROTJ. But not as excited as I was with ANH (which I saw no less than 4 times) or ESB. I think it was because I was at a point where I was getting more into girls and metal than holding on to my childhood. I will say I do remember thinking the whole Ewok sequences were kinda cheesy and I do remember rolling my eyes at the whole kiddie feel to the movie. That is the point where I stopped being really interested in Star Wars as a whole. Amazing how after you pass those teen and young adult stages that it comes full circle.
I was 13 when ROTJ came out and I still loved it, though I could recognise its flaws. The previous two movies had perfect three act structures, ROTJ had two spectacular halves with a quiet bit in-between. The only scene with any tension was when they fly past the shuttle past Vader. And while I liked the Jabba sequence, the Endor sequence looked too much like Earth (though not as much as TPM) after the galactic scale and world-building of the first two. If they'd stuck with the original script, which had a lot of Coruscant in it, it would have fitted in better with the first two.
As for it looking cheap I think that's down to the film stock they used.
