  Review by Patrick Willems ★★★½ 7

  Not as good as it should be, but contains the best exchange in the whole trilogy:

  "How we doing?"
  "Same as always."
  "That bad, huh?"

  everyone (wrong): luke's all-black outfit is symbolic of the draw he feels to the dark side
  me (right): he's just gay and stylish

  Fuck it, this deserves five stars. While The Empire Strikes Back was the equivalent of an open wound, Return of the Jedi is reminiscent of an eulogy or a half-remembered memory. Our beloved characters settle their problems and everything comes together, culminating in an operatic and masterful conclusion to the STAR WARS trilogy.

  The opening sequence at Jabba's palace is STAR WARS in miniature, utilizing real sets, striking puppets, grimy atmosphere, crazy creatures, and epic action into an opening half-hour that is absolutely riveting. The iconic moments are endless, with every scene on Endor being on another scale of awesomeness, particularly with the Speeder-Bike chase. And yet, the film never loses the emotional connection between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. It's simply a beautiful ode to the enduring bonds of father/son relationships, and by the end, I'm always in a state of bittersweet weeping.

  "Luke.... help me take this mask off"

  Must. Stop. Crying.

  I like this one better than A New Hope! Phenomenal sets and creatures, the best action of the trilogy, incredibly strong emotion. The fact that Luke doesn't give up on redeeming Vader, even when Obi-Wan and Yoda tell him Anakin is long gone, is immensely powerful.

  The Ewoks are hilarious and I don't have much to complain about with them. Jabba slays me with all of his wacky line deliveries. Overall, the humor in this film works surprisingly well, to the point where it might be the funniest Star Wars film.

  For a pretty flatly-written character at the time, Ian McDiarmid absolutely kills it as Palpatine. He manages to embody the ultimate evil in the galaxy while also bringing a…

  People rag on this one for being stupid which makes me wonder if there are other, hidden Star Wars films I don’t know about.
