To be fair, Episode 6 is also an extremely flawed movie that had ideas that got elevated by external material and was loved on its released. Even Episode 5 is worse than Splinter of the Mind's Eye, but the cutting special effects and the stupid reveal that Vader is Luke's father hard-carried that film. Retroactively "Darth Vader" went from "Dark Invader" to "Dark Father" by pseuds thanks to Ep. 5.
