When I was a kid, I will never, ever forget the movie theater reaction when that little Yoda dude first unleashed his light-saber and fought that old white man.   

The theater literally erupted in a collective orgasm during that scene, and when the credits rolled, it was the first (and only) time I ever saw a movie theater audience stand up and give a standing ovation.

The moment when the franchise ended in the 1980s. It was really principled of them to stop making these movies on a high note, rather than allow the series to devolve into half a dozen cash-grab pieces of trash beloved only by neckbeards and submoronic mouth-breathers.

I would not call Return of the Jedi a high note.

Why not? 

The Ewoks are stupid and a kid toy cash grab like a lot of the modern stuff.

When Admiral Feminist Dern rams the Raddus into the Supremacy.

I hate her character and it doesn't fit with established hyperspace law but it was the only time a Kathleen Kennedy character didn't turn into a Mary Sue SI.

I guess it's a matter of opinion, but I don't think it's a good movie.

ROTJ is a very schizophrenic film. As mentioned above, the Luke/Vader/Emperor plot is absolutely brilliant and the perfect climax and resolution to the original trilogy. Unfortunately they had no idea what to do with the rest of the characters so everything in the other half of the movie on Endor is terrible - even the Han-Leia dialogue is uncharacteristically poor for the OT, foreshadowing the disaster that was the prequels.
