Tonal and Tapestry Shifts Hinder the End of the Original Trilogy

Rating: 8/10 (11 October 2017)

Considered the Weakest of the Original Trilogy by most, "Jedi" Certainly Suffers from Tonal Shifts and Inconsistent Vibes.
The First Act is Full of Horrific and Repulsive Imagery. From the Droid Torture Chamber to Jabba the Hutt's "Party Palace" to the "Rancor", the Movie Starts almost like a Horror Film.
The Middle with the Ewoks is Cringe Worthy Cuteness and of course the "Ending" with Father and Son is Extremely Melodramatic. The Emperor's attempted Killing of Luke and His Taunting to Embrace the Dark Side is Excruciatingly Drawn Out.
The Fluctuating Feelings and Changing Tapestry throughout the Movie render a somewhat Clunky Tonality to the Overall Effort.
There are still Plenty of Things to Admire in the Production. The Space Battle Sequences and other SFX Heavy Scenes, like the Speeder Bikes can Impress even Today.
The Film can also be Burdened with the Enormous Popularity and Excellence of "Empire" and the Groundbreaking Awe of the First Film. These are only a Few of the Reasons that "Jedi" doesn't quite measure up to the Previous Pictures.
The Movie did make more Money, because of the Growing Fan Base, and the Anticipatory Aspect of the Intervening Three Year Wait. While not a Perfect Finale to the Trilogy it is still a Fine Effort and can Entertain Cultists and Newbies with its Rich Legacy and Retro Appeal.
