Yet another great film

Rating: 8/10 (27 November 2002)

This film continues in the same vein as Episodes IV and V and appeared initially to be more or less "The End". Rumors abounded that no more Star Wars films would be made. Of course, that turned out to be untrue and the series continues, but XVI (16) long years would pass between Episode VI and Episode I. Anyway, back to Episode VI. The SFX, basically unchanged since the first film 6 years earlier, are by now beginning to pale in comparison to other films, yet somehow, they are still adequate for this one. This film also marked the end of our now-familiar characters, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Chewbacca and Princess Leia. Lucas sure left us hanging at the end of this one. Would the series continue? Whatever became of Luke and company? It looks like we'll have to wait until Episode VII comes out!
