I disagree about the second Death Star. Obviously for the Empire this design means something, it is a hallmark achievement, a symbol of who they are. Just because it looks the same structurally and has a similar main weapon it doesn't mean it is completely the same in other aspects.
Also, it is a metaphor, the Empire are winning again after their defeat in Star Wars. The Death Star is a means of showing their success.
Number 9 the visuals - I would sooner watch the original 3 Star Wars films than any of the CGI laden other films.
7. Special Edition changes - I agree that the CGI additions look silly against the model and stage sets of the original.
6. The slave outfit - It's really just a bikini. Is this guy nuts? It was less sensitive times, get over it. I also doubt by the time of Jedi that Carrie Fisher could have been "forced" to do anything she didn't want to do.
4. The actions scenes on Endor. The Ewoks are violent though, they have spears. That said watching these teddy bears beat up Stormtroopers is no different to watching the female onslaught of the newer films.
