Great Conclusion to an Amazing Trilogy

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2019)

Return of the Jedi is a wonderful and satisfying closing to the epic original trilogy. George Lucas set out to make something great, and he far exceeded any expectation that anyone had, giving the world a new galaxy to explore, bringing in a new age of movies, and movie watchers. Giving us characters like Yoda, and Chewbacca and plenty more that have not only stood the test of time, but have transcended it. Star Wars is an every day phrase now, and it's hard to find someone who hasn't at least heard of it, and the force. Blending real life morals (I'm not getting into the theological side of Star Wars) with outer-world settings, with sweeping action and emotion Return of the Jedi provides exactly what this third installment needed, closure. If the other trilogies hadn't happened, these three films would be among the elites of all trilogies. I wish the other sequel films could have captured the same magic as even just Jedi here (but alas at least we still have these to watch again and again), which still holds true as an epic ending to an epic trilogy.
