the end of an unforgettable saga

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2003)

SPOILERS: Return of the Jedi is the last,but not best,episode of the epic Star Wars saga.
Although the story isn't as great as in episode V(the best movie)it still makes for 2 hours of superb entertainment.The emperor is truly dark and evil and the effects are again sublime.
The opening 30 minutes are as in episode V very good.Jabba the Hutt is a true villain and his lair is very well worked out,the creatures who live there have got the same imagination as the creatures of Mos Eisley.
Still,some plot twists are over the top. The fact that Luke and Leia are brother and sister is nice,but not very important or exciting.It was probably done to give the girl to Solo without causing problems.Because it wasn't special it wasn't told special(like in episode V when Vader tells Luke that he is his father).
However,the ending and the fate of Darth Vader is very well worked out and deserves to be recognized as important as him telling Luke that he is his father.
Overall,when watching the old Star Wars movies this episode is the lesser of the 3.It still is a brilliant movie which also tells a lot about the other 2. 10/10
