Underrated In this film, at long last, Luke finally confronts his father, in an epic finale of one of the most recognisable properties of all time.
Out of all the original 3 movies, everyone agrees this is the weakest one, despite having the wonder, and epic ness of the others, there is some real stinkers in this one:
1. Why would the empire build a second Death Star?
2. The ewoks just, why?
Etc, however, despite its flaws, return of the Jedi is still my favourite Star Wars movie; it still encapsulates what's so good about Star Wars. And this movie sets a very good example for young directors, there's the cinematography, the story, the conclusion, and actually how to write characters, if you analyse it, it can remove that nervousness that most young directors have about writing movies, and it's not as impossible as they think it is.
Back to the ewoks from before, the ewoks aren't as cancerous as, say, the "minions" ugh, there actually not bad as people say they are though I wish they still weren't in the movie, they're obviously just there as products.
I wanted to make this review as spoiler-less as possible because it's still a great film and an excellent execution to one of the most gripping, immersive sci-fi movies I've ever seen, pure beauty.
