Debate about Return of the Jedi

I found this vintage clip on YouTube between film critics John Simon, Roger Ebert, and Gene Siskel debating the merits of Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. Their comments are very interesting in retrospect, given what critics ended up saying about the prequel trilogy, but also because some of Simon’s comments are relevent to what has happened to Hollywood and the take over of spectacle in the marketplace.
