Thread: Return of the Jedi

    Default Return of the Jedi

    What do you think of Return of the Jedi? I think it's an okay movie it isn't as good as the original Star Wars or The Empire Strikes Back but it has some redeeming qualities...But it would've been better if somebody died, like Han or Luke.

    Empire was my favorite out of all ofthem, followed by A New Hope. I just never really could get into Return of the Jedi. The only part I liked was when Luke ran out from under the staircase to fight Vader and the vocal music started playing. Not a bad movie by any means but I just couldn't get into it.

    Somebody does die. Somebody very, very important to the series dies.

    Yes.

    The more important death, from a purely emotional standpoint, was Vader's. Especially considering Episodes I-III.

    I loved 'Return of the Jedi'. Probably my favorite episode. The only thing that I didn't really like were the Ewoks. They annoyed the crap out of me. Apart from that, great addition to the series.

    Ooh, it's the best! It has cute, cuddly Ewoks, HanxLeia, and the decisive duel between Luke and Vader! If only Episode III had followed it more closely. "Younglings" aren't very cute, and AnakinxPadme isn't nearly as satisfying, but Obi-Wan versus Anakin does come close.

    And, several characters die in this film. Jabba the Hutt, Boba Fett, and Yoda are killed off, too, not to mention a few Ewoks. =(

    I thought the first 30 minutes of "Return of the Jedi" were quite boring, but the movie got better when Luke returned to Dagobah. The final battles and the ending were pretty nice (except for Hayden Christensen being Anakin's ghost in the remake DVD), and the movie is quite entertaining, although it's not one of my favorites. "A New Hope" is my favorite Star Wars movie out of episodes 4-6.

    Return of the Jedi details the event in which the Emperor's grand plan was overthrown by none other than...

    smurfing teddy bears...

    Empire and A New Hope are the true embodiments of what Star Wars is. The Return of the Jedi is alright, but nothing notable.



    And let us never touch episode I... God, the horrors...

    I mean the storyline of ROTJ would've been darker and more cerebral if Han died after Leia thawed him out of the carbonite or if Luke died on the Death Star.

    The Empire Strikes Back is the best imo. Return of the Jedi wasn't bad just like Empire much better.
