Review of Return of the Jedi (1983) by Mohammad Y — 24 Dec 2017
"Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" comes full circle to wrap up the original saga, and it does so in style. While the movie suffers many issues, mostly with pacing and the whole Ewok segment in the second act, the ending does proof that the sixth entry (at the time was the third) is a powerful and memorable one.
All the characters continue to develop correctly as they're face with challenging obstacles that give shape to the overall story. The acting this time was the best out of the entire original trilogy.
Every cast member (including Jabba The Hutt if you want) played his or her part professionally and handled their roles profoundly. The third act is pure sci-fi beauty. The space battle remains to this day one of the most iconic.
And the whole throne room scene is pure brilliance; the emotional weight surrounding it is what really takes the scene to another level. We also get to see Vader's journey come to a very beautiful, peaceful end as he realizes what value he is missing: Family, which is a central theme throughout the movie.
