"The Saga Is Complete!"

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2012)

Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Frank Oz, Warwick Davis, Alec Guiness and Ian McDiarmid star in this 1983 sci-fi sequel. In this final chapter, Jedi, Luke Skywalker (Hamill), Leia Organa (Fisher), Lando Calrissian (Williams), C-3P0 (Daniels) and R2-D2 (Baker) go to Luke's home planet, Tatooine to rescue Han Solo (Ford) from gangster, Jabba the Hutt. After Han is thawed from being frozen in carbonite, they become prisoners and escape after Leia kills Jabba. Luke visits his ill master, Yoda (Voiced by Oz) while his friends head to the rebel base where they learn about a new death star being built by the empire. Yoda passes away and Luke talks with Ben "Obi-Wan" Kenobi (Guiness) about Darth Vader being his father. Luke learns that Leia is his sister and that they were hidden from Vader and his master, Emperor Palpatine (McDiarmid) when they were born. Luke surrenders to Vader and tries persuading him to let go of his hate. Vader tells Luke it's too late and takes him to meet Palpatine who forces Luke to join him. Luke resists Palpatine and fights Vader again. The rebels get help from furry creatures called, Ewoks who join them in battle including, Wicket (Davis). This is my favorite of the trilogy, McDiarmid is great as Palpatine and John Williams' score is excellent as usual. I recommend this.
