Uhm. EVERY StarWars movie has won some Oscars.
But I agree with you on Empire. Personally, I rank them as:
Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
The Phantom Menace
Return of the Jedi
Hopefully Attack of the Clones will be somewhere in the ANH and TPM range.
ROTJ is not a bad movie, it just is a letdown for the finale movie of a six movie saga. I think it'll seem even weaker when all the movies are finished. The first Jabba scenes are great and the Luke-Vader-Emperor scenes are among the best of all SW scenes, but the land battle on Endore? UGH! It ruins it all. At least in TPM, the native army (1) had cool technology but (2) still got their butts kicked by the droids. The ewoks (which i actually like) beat the best stormtroppers in the galaxy with sticks and rocks!! UGH!!!
Also, the other problem with ROTJ is the ESB builds up all the characters, and ROTJ basically just screws all character development and just fights some big lame ass Endor battle. If there was one more movie after ROTJ, it would be better.
Oh well... still, ROTJ is better than most movies out there
