Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Review by James Anthony

Click here for DVD details at a glance

Return of the Jedi is the final of the original Star Wars trilogy and all the various subplots within the series are wrapped up nicely.

Han Solo gets to meet Jabba the Hutt, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader face each other for one last time in a terrific light-sabre duel and the military forces of the evil Emperor are set to wipe out - once and for all - the rebellion that has come so close to succeeding.

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

And in Return of the Jedi the power of the dark side of the Force is stronger than ever and Luke moves inexorably closer to following in his father's tragic footsteps.

It is a good, but not great movie (despite the superb space battle scenes) but is a must see because of the fact you just have to see how it all pans out.

The major problem with Return of the Jedi is the appearance of those truly ridiculous feral teddy bears - the Ewoks. George Lucas just couldn't help himself could he? Just like when he came up with that floppy-eared plonker Jar Jar Binks...

The scenes with the Ewoks appealed hugely to small children and added a sort of humour, but in the overall context of the trilogy were a huge artistic mistake.

Still you do get to see Darth Vader without his helmet on.

The video transfer is reference quality and the surround sound is awesome and there's another excellent audio commentary with George Lucas, Carrie Fisher, Ben Burtt and Dennis Muren.

Conclusion: Movie 85% Extras 75%
