Weak compared to Episode IV, awesome compared to Episode V

Rating: Null/10 (14 April 2000)

Return of the Jedi is superior to The Empire Strikes Back, but is no where near as good as A New Hope. Jedi was a lot less dark than Empire and that was appealing. The final space battle was truly excellent and far better than those of the rest of the original trilogy. And the lightsaber duel between Luke and Darth Vader was even better than the one in Empire. Even the Ewoks could not ruin this for me. Like Empire, Jedi was unable to be as dramatic and amazing as A New Hope. Return of the Jedi does not even come close to A New Hope but it is still a good film. Don't miss it.
