- Synopsis:
In the spectacular final chapter of the Star Wars saga, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) must travel to Tatooine to free Han Solo (Harrison Ford) by infiltrating the wretched stronghold of Jabba the Hutt, the galaxy's most loathsome gangster. Reunited, the Rebels team up with tribes of Ewoks to combat the Imperial forces on the forest moon of Endor. Meanwhile the Emperor and Darth Vader (James Earl Jones) conspire to turn Luke to the dark side, and young Skywalker is determined to rekindle the spirit of the Jedi within his father. The Galactic Civil War culminates in the ultimate showdown, as the Rebel forces gather to attack the seemingly defenseless and incomplete second Death Star in the battle that will determine the fate of the galaxy. - Actors:

Entertaining Space Adventure - Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi review by GI
The weakest of the original trilogy but an acceptable conclusion to the story and really it effectively makes the latest trilogy all somewhat redundant. There are some great sequences including the rescue of Han Solo (Harrison Ford) from Jabba The Hut and, at last, Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) gets a decent costume! The final space battle, the combat scenes in the forest and the introduction of the evil Emperor with Ian McDiarmid's performance being the the best thing about the whole film. This is the most children focused of the three films and the early warning signs of George Lucas' misplaced imagination are here to see especially with the teddy bear like Ewoks. I have no doubt they are great for kids but they push the film away from the darker edge that the previous two films managed to retain. Even the title change from 'Revenge' to 'Return' is indicative of this, Revenge would have been more appropriate. However as the concluding film it wraps everything up nice and neatly and for the most part its a satisfying experience with it's monsters and laser shooting etc etc. If you love this trilogy then this does the job and it's nice to rewatch it and remember the excitement of waiting for the conclusion of the story to be released.
