Star Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)

A fine conclusion.

Return of the Jedi is yet another masterpiece and a fitting conclusion to the original saga.
The usual, great script, great fx, good acting.
LOVE Luke's new green lightsaber.
Vader truly makes his feelings known in this one.
The emperor couldn't have been any better.
All in all one of the best films ever.
What I didn't like were the teddy bears!!!
Lucas wanted Wookies originally, I agree, the Ewoks suck.
Since Lucas has tinkered with the original three endlessly, why not take the teddy bears out and put Wookies in???
Just a suggestion.

Otherwise, another must see/must have.

"Pass On What You Have Learned" ~ How Not to Conclude An Epic Saga

Question: What was the stupidest storyline mistake George Lucas made concerning the `Star Wars' trilogy?

Answer: Killing off Yoda and replacing him with those ridiculous Ewoks.

Yes, with the death of Yoda in the third film 'Return of the Jedi' released in '83 the best part of the storyline died with him. To make matters worse in come those furry little Ewoks to replace him. Thus ended my interest in the movie. If you're seven years old or under you'll love it, otherwise just rewatch the first two films.

My Rating: -3 Stars- and that's being generous. May 26, 2008

2 words. NO Haden

Finally we get on dvd the original film. A have been a fan of the films with new enhancements, but adding Hayden into the enhanced film, just made me sick. DON"T MESS WITH THE FILMS.


Finally we get a dvd copy of the original film I saw on screen...it will make you happy! April 8, 2008

The Star Wars saga comes to an end.

Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi is the final episode (yet only the 3rd of 6 movies made) in the Star Wars saga. This film presents the end of the Empire, and the showcase of Ewoks and muppets. While this film is considerably better than Episode I, it is the second weakest film in the saga. That is not to say it isn't a good film, just not as good as Episodes II-V. The 2004 version of the film is far superior to the 1997 or 1983 versions. I know a lot of people were angry that the old Anakin was replaced by Hayden Christiansen (young Anakin), but get over it. When I Jedi falls to the dark side, and comes back just before death, he reverts to the form he had as a Jedi when he crosses over to the afterlife. I guess George Lucas felt he didn't have to spell that one out for the true fans, but I can understand why someone would be upset not knowing that small fact. Now you know, so stop complaining.

Ending on Endor

The Good Things
*Excellent special effects, action, and battle scenes, no matter how old they are. Battle scene at the end is probably one of the best space battles ever made.
*Excellent acting and dialogue.
*Good engaging story. Contains both dramatic and comical scenes.
*Good characters still.
*Imaginative settings.
*Excellent music.
*Ewoks are cute...

The Bad Things
*Can't think of anything...

This is my personal favorite in the series. Aside from bringing an incredible grand finale to the franchise, it is loaded with strong powerful dramatic scenes, and some good comedy. Battle scenes are incredible. It is the perfect end to the whole thing (I don't care what they say), and it is essential viewing for all fans of the series. March 14, 2008
