I took the whole thing about Empire being better than Jedi in "Clerks" as an indication that Kevin thought Jedi could be much better since the Ewoks were on the forefront.
My question to Kevin would be: From your point of view, what would you have done differently in Jedi to make it a better movie?
Personally, I think the lightsaber sequence should've been slightly longer and should've been more even in terms of who was winning with maybe an edge in favor of Vader. My roommate believes Vader was winning, but I never thought so. I always thought if Vader had a slight edge, it would've made the sequence a little more dramatic, and would've made Luke's "Never!" and subsequent victory more powerful.
I also thought there was too little of Vader and Han Solo and too much Ewoks. For the record, I thought the Ewoks were fine. Gotta give credit where it's due and that's the Ewoks had a lot of balls.
Best,
