The Saga Ends?????

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2002)

As any devoted SW fan knows, G. Lucas ORIGINALLY planned for 12 episodes, this was quickly reduced to 9. Now, it is becoming more and more likely that there wil be no sequel trilogy at all, and Episode 6 would mark the End of the SW saga. I hope this is not so. This is my least favorite of the original trilogy. It is still a great film, I gave it an 8, the saber duel between Vader and Luke, the Emperor, the DS2, all provide a great movie. I didnt partically care for the opening sequence with Jabba's Palace, and Barge, but i did enjoy watching several people including Boba Fett fall to their doom. (dont email me about what the comic book said about him using his rocket pack to get out). The movie is well done, develops Yoda more, and shows more about the nature of the force, and how easy it is for a young Jedi to turn. A must see on all levels, but dont expect it to outdo the others. I even now, after watching it so many times still occasionally get a tear in my eye as Vader tosses the Emperor down the shaft to his DOOM!
