Return

Rating: 9/10 (11 April 2013)

Where do I start? A wonderful ending to a much loved trilogy of films, a magnificent display of science fiction visuals, and a master class in character development. It is a charming and fitting finale to the expanded universe of Star Wars; at this point in time anyway, we can only hope for a decent seventh instalment
While often considered to not be on the same level as episodes IV and V, episode VI at least serves its own purpose in the franchise; a fine purpose that all fantasy and adventure stories have a happy ending. We finally get to see the movie industry's greatest antagonist in a good light and we get more startling discoveries as the story goes on, but I won't mention any here, just in case of that one in a million chance that you're reading this and you haven't seen this movie yet.
There's really not much to say that I haven't already said for the other two films in the original Star Wars trilogy. The musical score is top notch as ever, but I have to say that I much prefer the track 'Victory Celebration' from the film's re-releases than the song 'Yub Nub' which was used in the film's original celebration scene. I just find 'Victory Celebration' to be so much more ambient as everybody celebrates and reunites, and what a reunion scene it is, but once again I'll let you find out for yourself, though I am aware I could click the 'spoiler alert' button.
But yes, the creative imagination of George Lucas returned with 'Return', so let's hope for the best for the future of the greatest Sci-fi series ever made!
