Just re-watched it recently. It has aged decently well. Some of the editing really drives me nuts.
Parts of the movie really feel like a collection of short scenes without a beginning or end (the overuse of transitional wipes makes some of the scenes feel like they are starting somewhere in the middle, AKA: Transition to Anakin & Padme sitting on a couch) but otherwise, it works where it needs to work, for the most part. Even with some of the shortcomings, I honestly think the this movie has the majority of "best moments" out of all 6.
I really think Ian McDairmid and Ewan McGregor's performance are among the most enjoyable of all 6 movies.
The final 40 minutes, I still love every second of it.
Anyone can say what they want about the PT, but ROTS easily beats ROTJ in my book, and even though ROTS has some annoying flaws, it entertains the heck out of me. If I were stuck alone on an island and could take only one SW movie, I really feel this one would have the most replay value.

Irony has it that the PT IS technologically seriously outdated. Apart from the most part of TPM, the other movies are shot in 2K digital. They'll never be in a higher resolution than 2K. While the OT has an endless resolution and will enjoy a very good 4K transfer.

Agree with almost everything, but I do give ROTJ a lot more credit than most people give it. I actually put it almost on par with Empire. My only issue is Han Solo didn't have much to do in the film. If not for that 1 issue I'd put it on par with Empire.
ROTS is actually the mirror image film of ROTJ, and it's great to watch them both back to back.
