A fitting end to a great saga

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 1998)

Jedi is considered by hard core fans to be the weak link. I don't think so. It's exciting, it's never dull and it neatly takes care of all the loose ends that Empire gave us. The movie starts off by showing the new Death Star and a very serious Darth Vader. Then it's off to Tattooine where Luke and company escape from Jabba the Hutt in a great light saber/blaster shoot out. Yoda confirms Luke's fears and Obi-Wan tells Luke that he must confront Darth Vader. The speeder bike chase, the blooming relationship between Han and Leia and that forest battle! Wow! But the main crux of the film is between Luke and Vader, and The Emperor. The duel between Luke and Vader is spectacular, and when Luke loses it after Vader goads him into it is just amazing. In defeating Vader, Luke stands to become him. Vader turning on his Emperor is outstanding. The force theme swells on the soundtrack and the Emperor is tossed down to the bowls of the Death Star. Quite a comeback for someone who was pure evil in the last two films. Throw in one hell of a space battle and you've got yourself a film that will entertain you and blow your socks off.
