Review of Return of the Jedi (1983) by Chris B — 17 Jun 2017

This is my favorite movie of all time! Return of the Jedi is a perfect.

Film. It starts off on Tatooine where we finally get to see see Luke as.

A Jedi Knight. We get an incredible action scene at Jabba's Palace.

Luke defeats a Rancor and then destroys the entire barge (We wanted to.

See Luke wreck havoc for a long time and finally got it).

We also get to see Yoda one last time in a great emotional scene where Yoda confirms that Luke is indeed Vader's father and passes away. We then realize that we must go to Endor to shut the shield generator down to.

Destroy Death Star II. When we get to Endor we get one of the best.

Scenes in the entire movie. We get a very suspenseful speeder bike.

Chase. The visual effects and sound in these scenes are truly some of.

The best in the entire trilogy.

We then meet the most controversial part about the original trilogy and that is the ewoks. I personally love the ewoks, it is about the over lapping story of David vs. Goliath. Don't let anybody fool you, these things are pure evil. During the film you will see them trying to eat our main hero's, kill.

Stormtroopers, beat on the decapitated stormtroopers heads as drums at.

The end of the film.

But the reason this film sets it apart from the other films is the ending, we get the best ending of any film ever. It cuts from Lando and Nien Nunb flying the falcon with the rebellion trying to destroy the second death star, which is still no doubt the best space battle ever put to cinema to Han, Chewbacca, and Leia on Endor fighting with the ewoks to get the shield generator down, to the ultimate climax of the series when we see Luke confronting Vader and the Emperor. The dialog between the Luke and The Emperor in these scenes are top notch and the best in the trilogy. This then turns into a great duel between Luke and Vader! Luke besting Vader this time around now that he is a Jedi Knight. Luke cuts Vader's arm off and realizes that if he lets his emotions get the best of him and kills his.

Father, he will be no better than Vader and become just like him. The.

Emperor then aging Luke on to kill Vader, Luke turns around throws his.

Lightsaber and says "You failed your highness, I am a jedi like my.

Father before me!" This is my favorite line because Luke has overcome.

The dark side and beaten the Emperor. The Emperor after failing to.

Convert Luke to the dark side try's to kill him by electrocuting him.

Vader is watching the Emperor do this to his own son and you see Luke.

Crying out to his father to save him, you see the conflict in Vader as.

He looks back and forth from Luke to Vader he then redeems himself and.

Saves Luke by picking up the Emperor and throwing him over the rail to.

His death. In this process Vader was electrocuted by the Emperor and we.

See that he is about to die. We then see Luke carry Vader's body to his.

Ship to try and escape the death star II before it explodes. Vader.

Tells Luke the he wants to see him without the mask. Vader then tell's.

Luke that he was right. We then see Luke have a pyro burial for his.

Father and he is the only one in attendance, that was always extremely.

Powerful for me. Luke then goes and celebrates with Han, Leia,.

Chewbacca, Lando, Wedge, R2D2, and C- 3PO on their impossible victory.

Over the Empire.

This is truly the best ending anyone could have asked for and the best redemption story ever put to the big screen while finishing the greatest trilogy of all time! In Return of the Jedi I always would like to point out that the music from John Williams is incredible just like it is in his other films, but also the acting from the cast is the strongest in this film. Please definitely give this a watch and thank you so much Richard Marquand for creating my favorite film of all time!
