RotJ stuck a knife in my heart at 7 years young. Not only did I witness firsthand the ‘end’ of SW I was aware of the overall decline of quality despite the excellent ramped up action and effects. A few years later the first attempts at serialized SW animation confused me since Droids had relatively involved story lines with ongoing arcs yet featured slap stick comedy and lackluster fight scenes fit for toddlers...and it was paired with Ewoks, a cartoon squarely aimed at the Care Bears and rainbow brite crowd. Cognitive dissonance is a trademark of SW ‘childrens’ entertainment as far as I am concerned. Silly simplistic plots and goofy action alongside war stories of genocide, sacrifice and suffering IS what SW has been for 30+ years, even before Rebels or Clone Wars. Consistent quality and tone has been a problem since the ESB end credits rolled.
