I thought it was interesting in that Charlie Roes interview with Lucas that he off-handedly mentions they copy-pasted the ending of Jedi on the end of a New Hope because it didn't have a satisfying climax.

You'd think they would've rewritten the Jedi finale in the six years between films...

no, basicaly jabba forced them into a life time servitude. Jabba said he was a top fighter and that he could take all of them. his only rule was that they had to be blindfolded. so his goons kick the poo poo out of them and because gamorians are retarded, the pledged loyalty to him

also everyones favorite "critic" reviewed the new star wars. spoilers she thought it was too violent and simplistic good and evil is a worrying conservative trope.
