After the high of The Empire Strikes Back the quality is already starting to wane.
Not bad, but not a patch on the previous two films.
I wish Lucas had left it here though.

It was those bloody silly Ewoks that mostly spoilt this film for me.

I never knew till today that Bossk was in this. Me neither. I loved the Bounty Hunters when I was a kid. That line-up of them in Empire always intrigued me and had me wondering what happened to them. They should have been used more and not just focused on Boba Fett, no matter how cool he was.

Oh, and I gave this one a 10, along with A New Hope and Empire. All three are an invaluable part of my childhood, and I love them all equally.

Yeah I loved the bounty hunters too (had the action figures). Think IG-88 turns up later on in ESB as junk in the junk room at Cloud City.

I've actually read reviews that criticized this magnificent movie, claiming it was a disappointment after "The Empire Strikes Back". Balderdash! This movie gave me the same thrill I got from "A New Hope" (minus the — "Oh my God, I've never seen anything like THIS before!" — and you only get that one time per franchise, right?)
Wikipedia says this: __________________________________
Although a critical and commercial hit, grossing more than $475 million worldwide, Return of the Jedi has, in the decades that followed, been considered by many critics and fans to be a slightly lesser achievement than its predecessors, but is still overall considered superior to the prequels. _________________________________
For me, this one is kinda the best of the bunch out of all six of "orginal" SW movis. It has the full range of great cinematic moments.
It's got the humor —
Darth Vader: "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am."
Han Solo: "Luke? A Jedi Knight? Jeez, I'm out of it for a little while and everybody gets delusions of grandeur!"
It's got the sentiment:
Luke "I feel the good in you, Father. I will not fight you."
And it's got the nobility — like that amazing moment when Darth Vader rebels against the torture of his son and throws that cackling bastard right down into hell!
Okay, so the Ewoks suck, but even they have some terrific moments during the final battle when they rig up booby traps like "Swiss Family Robinson" and bring down a few Imperial walkers.
And then of course there's this . . .
Oh, sorry. Wrong picture. I meant to use this one.
And of course, the special effects weren't too shabby either.
I saw this movie on opening day at Altanta's Lenox Square Theater with a packed house of Star Wars fans who would have sold a kidney to get the ticket price. Some of them had Han Solo action figures frozen in ice (in Tupperware to prevent leakage), and they watched him melt while they waited in line a few hours for the feature to start.
I took my trusty Time Saving Device into the theater and recorded both the movie AND the audience's spirited reactions — whooping and hollering and generally having the time of their lives, all preserved in stereo on my little time machine.
Yes, indeed, this is one fine movie . . .

The last Star Wars movie!
It's my favourite of the three, though perhaps partly due to nostalgia - I remember going to see this in the cinema with my mum, my friend Chris and his mum. I'd have been about eight. I wish I still was!
