Almost As Good As the Original, Equal to the Second

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2001)

"Return of the Jedi" is probably the weakest of the original three installments in George Lucas's series, but that is not to say that it is not still a very good film that more than delivers in the end. Rebels led by Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Billy Dee Williams now come at the Empire with everything they have. In the end it will be an all or nothing venture that will forever change the lives of all involved. All the questions will be answered and all the loose ends will be tied together. Darth Vader (voiced by James Earl Jones) and his forces will not yield easily though. The screenplay is focused once again and the direction by Richard Marquand this time is smart and outstanding. A worthy film to end the original trilogy. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
