Entertaining ending to what became a formula series

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 1999)

Star Wars series wraps up (at least Episodes 4-6) with mildly entertaining finale. Cast doesn't seem as loose as they did the first or even second time around, although they're willing to go through the paces one more time. Forest planet of Endor becomes the focal point for final showdown between Empire and Rebel forces. It's peopled (surprise) by cute little spunky, furry creatures. By this time, story line has aged a little too much, and we're starting to see repeats of earlier plot devices. You may or may not be able to stomach the Darth Vader-Luke connection (I never could), but at least it's resolved nicely.
