Return of the Jedi is a nice conclusion to the original trilogy and it is very entertaining and has some of the best moments of the franchise.However the issues are very obvious, the Ewoks and everything surrounding them. They aren't bad but they are definitely weak when compared to everything else in the film. I could have ignored them but the Ewoks subplot in this film is quite sizeable and takes up a lot of the runtime.Now the negatives are out of the way, Return of the Jedi has lots of things to love. There is the great opening where Han gets rescued from Jabba the Hutt, the speeder bike chase, the amazing Darth Vader/Luke/Emperor fight sequence and the ending.Overall, this film is very good but doesn't quite compare to Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. Some things can feel a bit rushed at times due to the Ewoks subplot taking up more than enough runtime but other than that, this film is great.

This movie was great. I loved the beginning even though it got a little slow at some points. The old team got back together finally. Jabba was a character they quickly silenced off, with Carrie Fisher donning a bikini, which got every teenage boy horny. I wasn't a huge fan off that. Them they went to Endor where they met the Ewiks, who I personally thought they were cute. How they were able to take out the best of the Empire's best; I'll never know. The end was awesome with the destruction of the Death Star. Everyone survived ending this beautiful and fantastic trilogy for now.

As Mel Brooks proclaimed in "Spaceballs": it's "the search for more money". All questions are answered and all the villains and heroes that need to die, to finish the saga, do so and become immortal. The empire is defeated, and Hans Solo gets his girl. The Ewoks save the day, and manage to do it without upsetting anybody's prejudice. Humans make a tasty "roast beast"! The "Special Edition" with added scenes and enhanced picture and sound add a bit of "snap" to the whole thing. I still think that the Emperor was an unnecessary character and that Darth Vader was evil enough without him. Love those "AT-AT Walkers" and "Cycle Speeders"!

One of the best of all parts this part has much in it. Luke's turning as a Jedi; disclosure of relationship between Leia and Luke and most interesting of all the turning of Vader to light to save his son. The action fight of Luke with Vader was interesting and so was Vader's throwing off the Supreme Leader. On the creative part entry of the Ewok; their support for the cause and above all 3 PO as a deity :) nothing more comical than that. Chewei has always been an entertainer and more in this when he and Ewok control the war machine to strike enemies down. The most heart touching was the arrival of souls of Obi-Wan, Yoda and 'Anikan' during the celebration after defeat of the dark force. Loved watching it.
