The return of the  blackout (screen) (vhs) (dad)

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2017)

Last Friday morning, the electrical company cut off our building. We were without energy for 6 hours. Sunday night, the moment Wicket discovers Leia, the company cut it off again and this time for 3 long days. While i live in Left bank Paris, i had a taste of an Ewok life, left to tools and no energy! Finally, I watched the end yesterday !
This final movie of the classic trilogy had been always fun for me : back in 1983, this movie was like a big event, full of gifts : a sticker album, new Kenner toys As a forest and desert lover, i found the new locations to be very enjoyable in spite of a very weak script :

Maybe there is a new death star and the special effects have been amazingly upgraded but at the end, it's another huge battle finale with the same mission Lucas explains well how he brings this idea to Episode IV as he lacked then an idea to end it. In addition, the Empire, contrary to Vader feeling, is pretty fast to build such a big, ultimate weapon while it took 20 years to build the original!

Episode V was Luke forbidden to leave Dagobah because he had to finish his training. And now when he comes back, Yoda tells him that he doesn't need anymore training : Never been clear to me !

It's true that Leia has nothing to do : she barely speaks and as dear late Carrie told us, she spends her time firing guns ! On the other hand, Harrison is really good here.

At last, this special edition leaves me angry : the new footage of Christensen as Anakin is totally failed : why pick his age ? why he seems so grumpy while Ben, Yoda and previous old Anakin was smiling ??? It's like he has indeed no good for him !!! Next, all the universe (Tatoine, Bespin, Coruscant) celebrates the defeat of the Empire but Episode VII explains us that : the sinister FIRST ORDER will not rest until the last Jedi, has been destroyed and General Leia Organa leads a brave RESISTANCE !!! Totally BS incoherence !
At the end, the 1983 movie was really good as it was and puts an excellent happy ending to a self sufficient trilogy.
