That explains why the filmmakers seem to have no idea what to do with everybody who isn't Luke after Jabba's

and the pacing of new plot twists is on meth after that - Yoda dies, Death Star #2, Leia is your sister

And three separate concurrent endings (Endor, the space battle, Luke and Vader's duel)

Lucas learned the wrong lesson from this and intentionally crammed FOUR climaxes into TPM

Gungan battle, Naboo palace infiltration, duel vs Darth Maul, Anakin in space

And again, as with RotJ, we at most care about two of those.

it's worse than RotJ bc the Gungan battle has absolutely no stakes and is all played for pure laughs
