still fresh, innovative, and lots of fun

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2006)

Episode Six of the Star Wars saga is a full-scale war that will ultimately determine the fate of the galaxy. Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia travel to the planet Tatooine to try and rescue their friend Han Solo who's being detained by the notorious gangster Jabba the Hutt. As the rebel forces attempt to combat the Galactic Empire and stop completion of a new and improved Death Star, the Dark Emperor and his chief enforcer Darth Vader conspire to turn Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker to the dark side, even though the heroic young warrior is unyielding in his mission to redeem the good that still remains in his father. Rousing, old-fashioned extravaganza is about the most ideal adventure that one could hope for; energetic and fast-paced, it takes you along a wild ride right up until its powerful climax. ***½
