Return of the Jedi: Fitting End To A Classic Star Wars Series

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2012)

The film is set approximately one year after Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi is an epic space opera film directed by Richard Marquand and written by George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan. It is the third film released in the Star Wars saga, and the sixth in terms of the series' internal chronology.
In the final episode of the Star Wars saga,Han Solo emerges intact from the carbonated casing in which he'd been sealed in The Empire Strikes Back. The bad news is that Solo, together with Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, is prisoner to the grotesque Jabba the Hutt. But with the help of the charismatic Lando Calrissian, our heroes and our heroine manage to escape.The evil Galactic Empire, with the help of the villainous Darth Vader, is building a second Death Star in order to crush the Rebel Alliance. Since Emperor Palpatine plans to personally oversee the final stages of its construction, the Rebel Fleet launches a full-scale attack on the Death Star in order to prevent its completion and kill Palpatine, effectively bringing an end to the Empire. The next task is to rid the galaxy of Darth Vader and the Emperor,now in command of a new, under-construction Death Star. On the forest moon Endor, the good guys enlist the help of a feisty bunch of bear-like creatures called the Ewoks in their battle against the Empire.Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker, a Rebel leader and Jedi Knight, struggles to bring Vader, who is his father and himself a fallen Jedi, back from the Dark Side of the Force.
This installment is considered by many to be the best of the first three Star Wars in terms of technical accomplishment and narrative involvement but it is the most Disney-esque in its emotional outline, yet that outline is buried beneath an obnoxiously hyped-up pace that reduces the emotions to rubble.It is not as exciting as Star Wars itself, which had the advantage of novelty. But it is better and more satisfying than The Empire Strikes Back only in terms of entertainment.But nevertheless,The acting in Return of the Jedi is stronger than in the previous films and it still had its moments. Though failing to reach the cinematic heights of its predecessors, Return of the Jedi remains an great sci-fi adventure and a fitting end to the classic trilogy.
