Review of Return of the Jedi (1983) by Andrew M — 13 Jun 2017
RotJ gets a bad rap for the OT. It's pretty much unwarranted. Where in this film is there really a flaw? The Ewoks? That seems to be everyone's gripe. What's wrong with the Ewoks? It's a primitive species that overcomes the technologically advanced Empire. That is the idea of Hope which is what Star Wars seems to be all about. If anything, the film should be taking a hit from the slow paced opening set in Jabba's Palace and Sail Barge.
There isn't much Lightsaber play in this film and what there is, is pretty slow, but no one can deny that the last few seconds of the Luke/Vader duel is the most powerful saber battle of all the Star Wars films.
