We do that once a year (this year twice, because we got the Blu-Ray 
versions).  It is a marathon, has to be started around 9 AM to finish at 
a reasonable time. :)

Not all stories are intended to be 'happy'.  Empire Strikes Back ends 
with the rebels getting their asses handed to them.  Not exactly a 
cheerful ending, but most consider it the best of the 6 films.

I was glad that episode 3 ended the way it did - how else could it have 
ended, given what the audience knows about Vader after episode 6?
