Satisfying conclusion

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2019)

Boba Fett is massively underutilized, the second act is dull and drags and Yoda's scene feels a little rushed, resulting in it being the weakest of the original trilogy. However, Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi is still an emotionally satisfying conclusion. Once again Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, James Earl Jones, Anthony Daniels and Carrie Fisher are all incredible. Billy Dee Williams is effortlessly charismatic as Lando and Ian McDiarmid is excellent as The Emperor. It also has a great lightsaber fight and some of the best space battles in the franchise. Richard Marquand's direction is really good and the music by John Williams is reliably perfect.
