Flawed but still enjoyable and satisfying

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2019)

The finale of the original trilogy does not quite live up to the hype built up by its predecessors, but still gives fans a conclusion that will satisfy their desire for a complete story as it wraps the complete narrative up very well despite the movies flaws. The emperor with Luke is one of the best things about the movie as one feels the pull in both Luke and Vader. The action is some of the best in the trilogy AT TIMES. The Endor sequence is exciting when focused on our leads and their fantastic chemistry which carries much of the film as well. However, the movie does feel to similar to the movie that came out six years before it in the original in terms of overall plot structure. Also, the troopers losing a battle to teddy bear ewoks is possibly the most unbelievable thing in the saga. Despite these flaws the action is great mostly, and certain sequences such as the throne room and the tunnel chase with the Falcon are too classic to pass up. Also the conclusion to the story is very satisfying and will still leave you smiling.
