Review of Return of the Jedi (1983) by Oliver G — 09 Mar 2018
While this was the weakest of the three originals, Jedi is still a great film, and a wonderful satisfying wrap making the trilogy one of the best movie sagas of all time. Without question this is a great film, with a great finish, edge of your seat suspense and by now we are familiar with the star wars formula that Lucas utilized, the film itself is the third part of a three part story, it has the familiar action packed start on the barge, the saving of Solo, and moves into its own third part with the ultimate showdown between Luke, Vader and the Emperor, and the Rebels and Imperial showdown on Endor.
Yes, the ending of what Harrison Ford called a "teddy bear" party is a little goofy, but many are endeared to the ewoks, it is easy to parody "empire taken down by space bears" but the nature vs technology, and the little guy vs the big bully is just a classic end to a great saga.
