the moment when leia strangles jabba is literally the birth of feminism
Review by Patrick Willems ★★★½ 5

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?"
Review by ciara ★★★★★ 14

the saddest moment in cinematic history is when those two ewoks get caught in an explosion and one of them gets up and shakes the other but it doesn’t move i literally am still in fucking tears george lucas you utter piece of shit

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.

god i cant wait to steal yoda's move and just say "it's my time" and then straight up disappear to become a ghost when someone asks me an uncomfortable question
Review by Branson Reese 5

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.
Review by Todd Gaines ★★★½ 56

Luke has severe daddy issues. Han is frozen with nowhere to go. Leia is more mature. Chewie is still the motherfucker. Yoda is old as fuck. Lando is as smooth as a 6-pack of Colt 45. The droids are still droiding along. Vader still breathes heavy. All of these characters play a pivotal role in the final chapter of the only Star Wars trilogy that matters unless JJ & Disney don't fuck shit up and Episode 7 is the motherfucker. SPACESHIP! Shrek's uncle. R2's stubbornness. Fuck you 1998 Godzilla! Jabba the Hutt is the real king beast. 3PO's linguistic skills. Groovy jazzy funky house band. Boba's lighting-quick reflexes. Defrost Han. Concubine Leia. Wookie hug. Gladiator games. Plank walk. Green lightsabers are…

vader: join the dark side
luke: no
vader: son you're giving up your dream
luke: no dad, i'm giving up yours
Review by Coolnilk ★★★★★ 5

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is undeniably the underdog film when in relation to the two flawless ones that came before it, though I do genuinely have to say that this film when watched collectively with the other two truly makes Return of the Jedi a fitting end to the original trilogy.
It may borrow some of the same plot points that A New Hope gave us with there being another robust Death Star that's going to destroy the Rebellion once more after the events of the Empire Strikes Back that largely set the Rebellion a couple steps back sure, however favorably there were a ton of fresh ideas and even more noteworthy aspects added into the fray that…

Grindhouse Edition
Pop-Culture Opera. Seamless, mythical grandeur. World-building on a colossal scale, and effortless too. Basically everything you could want in one of these. That shot of the light in Yoda's hut fading out. That Vader/Luke 1-on-1. The production design and the Skywalker Sounds and the Ewoks and the matte paintings. God-level.
Review by Jay ★★★½

palpatine: *starts electrocuting luke*
vader: IVE ABANDONED MY BOY

Review by Andrew Rovinsky ★★★½

i just wish the first and second act were as good as that final act because if they were this’d be a 10.
Overall, the majority of the movie is just a little boring, but that final 3rd is a great conclusion to the trilogy.

“No more training do you require, already know you that which you need” really? Because I remember you making him climb some vines and do a hand stand but whatever he’s a master now I guess...
