I have one quibble with RotJ (aside from the nausiating final scene, of course).
There is a celebration going full blast on Endor (sp?), and yet (I know I'll
be corrected if I'm wrong) as I recall there was a Very Large Portion of the
Imperial Navy waiting for the rebels, who themselves only brought a relatively
small (?) portion of *their* starforces.
Where did all of those Imperial ships *go*? ("Sir, the Death Star is gone,
and I suddenly forgot what we were here for. Can you explain?" "Why, yes!
We were sent here to hang in space for fifteen movie minutes
and then get the hell out! Attention all hands: prepare for Hyperspace!")
Seriously, though, even if turning tail was a good idea at the time, I can't
believe that the Emporer (sp?) didn't have a few loyal toadies commanding
those star destroyers.
