Review of Return of the Jedi (1983) by Stanley C — 29 Aug 2016

Being the result of George Lucas choosing to drop the serious sci-fi intense action and tragedy elements from "New Hope" and "Empire Strikes Back" in favor of introducing a Sesame Street-like story about the main cast meeting up with furry or slimy aliens, such as the seriously unlikable Jabba the Hutt and the Ewoks, who are all just annoying or troublesome, "Return of the Jedi" lacks the same golden intelligence of "New Hope" and "Empire Strikes Back".

But it does at least finish away the story that Empire Strikes Back left dangling with a true climax, where Luke confronts Palpatine and Vader once and for all. In conclusion, the Star Wars story is much more enjoyable to watch starting from the start of "New Hope" and ending it at where Vader throws Palpatine away into the pit and peacefully dies glad that he saved his son.
