Review of Return of the Jedi (1983) by Ryan T — 13 Jan 2018
This movie offers a fitting end to what may be the best movie trilogy of all time, and an entertaining one at that. Finally, we see the Emperor of the galaxy and he is an absolute manipulative badass. Luke and Vader in this movie are great, with both trying to turn each other to their side and then leading to an emotional duel (my favorite in the series) that closes the trilogy and redeems Anakin Skywalker.
The movie also offers a glimpse at the... stranger side of the galaxy with Jabba's palace in the beginning. It is filled top to bottom with unique aliens that show the depth of the Star Wars galaxy.
Jabba himself is an absolute masterpiece, being the most complex practical creature in the entire Star Wars universe and just overall entertaining. All of our beloved characters from the previous two movies are back again and offer amazing performances and shine in this movie.
The one downside I can even think of are the ewoks, and I frankly don't mind them. Also, some of the blue screen is outdated unfortunately but that does not detract from the epic experience that is "Return of the Jedi.
" In the end, this movie is an adventurous, entertaining, beautiful end to what is the original trilogy of Star Wars and will go down in history as a marvel of cinema.
