The best of the trilogy IMO

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2004)

*Minor spoilers ahead*
This is an underrated movie in my opinion, at least when compared with the first 2. I've people give all sorts of reasons why it's bad, and many talk about it's "feel good ending". I'll never understand why this is a bad thing. Don't get me wrong; I think the ewoks was a cheesy change to the script(the original script called for a planet of primitive Wookies), and it almost most certainly was made to make the movie appeal to a broader audience. In Return of the Jedi, though, it doesn't destroy the movie the way it does in the prequels(IMO anyway). The final scenes with the emperor and the chorus chanting low as Luke and Vader battle with lightsabres always sends chills down my spine. It's definitely my favorite Star Wars movie.
