The high-energy, special-effects-laden conclusion to George Lucas's ambitious Star Wars trilogy delivers the final confrontation between Luke Skywalker (a more confident and mature Mark Hamill) and his nemesis-father, Darth Vader (David Prowse, voice of James Earl Jones), as the rebel alliance makes its last stand against the evil Empire. The film opens with an impressive set piece in the cave of the monstrous Jabba the Hut, who holds both Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) for his decadent pleasure until Skywalker comes to the rescue. The final battle pits an enormous armada of rebel ships against the rebuilt Death Star, the planet-killing weapon of the first film, while guerrilla forces battle Empire soldiers on the planet below with the help of a cuddly army of pint-sized, teddy-bear-like creatures known as Ewoks (Lucas's one concession to merchandising) and Skywalker confronts Vader and the emperor on the Deathstar. Director Richard Marquand invests the tale with plenty of humor and a vigorous sense of adventure without losing the seriousness of Skywalker's mission. The special edition adds, among other effects, more creatures and a bouncy song-and-dance number to the Jabba the Hut scenes, and an extended celebration that literally encompasses the galaxy at the film's jubilant conclusion. --Sean Axmaker

Average Rating: 
Rating: - A fine conclusion.
Return of the Jedi is yet another masterpiece and a fitting conclusion to the original saga.
The usual, great script, great fx, good acting.
LOVE Luke's new green lightsaber.
Vader truly makes his feelings known in this one.
The emperor couldn't have been any better.
All in all one of the best films ever.
What I didn't like were the teddy bears!!!
Lucas wanted Wookies originally, I agree, the Ewoks suck.
Since Lucas has tinkered with the original three endlessly, why not take the teddy bears out and put Wookies in???
Just a suggestion.
Otherwise, another must see/must have.

Question: What was the stupidest storyline mistake George Lucas made concerning the `Star Wars' trilogy?
Answer: Killing off Yoda and replacing him with those ridiculous Ewoks.
Yes, with the death of Yoda in the third film 'Return of the Jedi' released in '83 the best part of the storyline died with him. To make matters worse in come those furry little Ewoks to replace him. Thus ended my interest in the movie. If you're seven years old or under you'll love it, otherwise just rewatch the first two films.
My Rating: -3 Stars- and that's being generous.
Rating:  - 2 words. NO Haden
Finally we get on dvd the original film. A have been a fan of the films with new enhancements, but adding Hayden into the enhanced film, just made me sick. DON"T MESS WITH THE FILMS.
Finally we get a dvd copy of the original film I saw on screen...it will make you happy!
Rating: - The Star Wars saga comes to an end.
Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi is the final episode (yet only the 3rd of 6 movies made) in the Star Wars saga. This film presents the end of the Empire, and the showcase of Ewoks and muppets. While this film is considerably better than Episode I, it is the second weakest film in the saga. That is not to say it isn't a good film, just not as good as Episodes II-V. The 2004 version of the film is far superior to the 1997 or 1983 versions. I know a lot of people were angry that the old Anakin was replaced by Hayden Christiansen (young Anakin), but get over it. When I Jedi falls to the dark side, and comes back just before death, he reverts to the form he had as a Jedi when he crosses over to the afterlife. I guess George Lucas felt he didn't have to spell that one out for the true fans, but I can understand why someone would be upset not knowing that small fact. Now you know, so stop complaining.
Rating: - Great
What else can you say about Star Wars, This was for my grandson. I bought him all 6 movies and he loves them all.
