Yes, the prequels sucked, The Force Awakens was a glossy retread of A New Hope, and Rogue One was a flawed but interesting addition to the universe, but in our haste to hold The Empire Strikes Back up as a near-perfect piece of cinema and compare all subsequent films to it, I believe Return of the Jedi (1983) receives short shrift among Star Wars fans.

Though Mr. Dundas said, backstage in a room piled with books, that he had come to Paris because it was where he learned fashion, and that he had his show in his friends' home because it was "personal," his first collection felt more like a greatest hits retread of his time at Cavalli and, before that, Pucci (and before that, Ungaro), than like a fresh start with a honed vision.
