Star Wars Episode Six: The Return of the Jedi
I don't think I could stand living in 1980. I mean, if I had seen the Empire Strikes Back in 1980, I would not be able to wait a whole three years to see the final episode! Han Solo is encased in carbonite...the Rebel Alliance is scattered across the galaxy...the suspense would end up killing me.
But, instead, I live in this present time. I had to wait 4 years after the Phantom Menace to see Attack of the Clones, and I waited an unbearable 3 years for Revenge of the Sith. Let me tell you, being a Star Wars fan is no picnic. But, now it's over -- there's no more waiting, and it's just me, my beloved movies, and a bowl of popcorn. NO MORE WAITING!!
Anyhow, on to my review of the sixth and final Star Wars film.
Luke and Leia are not about to let their dear friend spend the rest of his life imprisoned in the palace of the nasty Jabba the Hutt. They plan a rescue mission and almost end up getting killed, themselves. Luke is a full-fledged Jedi Knight by now, but he still has to complete his training. After the daring rescue of Han Solo, Luke travels back to Yoda in the Dagobah System, where he finds that his master is now standing at death's door. Yoda tells him that to complete his training, he must confront his father in one final battle that con only end one way -- one of them would die. Luke also learns that Leia is actually his twin sister, from whom he was separated at birth.
With this knowledge, he leaves Dagobah and joins his friends at the Rebel Base. The Empire is now building yet another Death Star which is promised to be far more powerful than the first. The Rebels decide to destroy it before it becomes fully armed and operational. The Death Star is orbiting the moon of Endor.
A team lands on Endor, determined to destroy the Death Star's shield, which was constructed on the forest floor. They are delayed by the Ewoks, cute little furry bear-like creatures that decide that C-3PO is their new god and Luke & Co. are a sacrifice for him. Of course, they get out of it and fight their final epic battle against the Galactic Empire.
Luke, however, has a different battle to fight. He seeks out Darth Vader, who is currently a servant to the evil Emperor Palpatine, who is overseeing the final stages of the completion of the Death Star. Luke and Darth Vader duke it out, and the movie ends with a conclusion which will never be forgotten.
4 stars. *Sniff*. It's over -- or is it?
