This movie is a funny one, a lot of people seem
to either love this movie or hate it. I think its fair to
say that Generally most people feel this is the weakest
of the original trilogy and I would have to agree there.
But I don't think its bad at all, far from it....it just
has some problems with it and you generally get the feeling
that this movie was rushed.
First off it starts with the empire building
a new Death Star....which isn't really that original. Then
we are introduced to our band of rebels rescuing Han Solo
from the clutches of Jabba The Hutt. Now and again its a
little bit slow, but the Rancor & Sail Barge scenes
are very good and entertaining scenes to watch.
Later we see the death of Yoda and the revelation
that Luke & Leia are sisters which makes a lot of people
think back to that kiss in Empire. According to the producer
of ANH & TESB, Luke's sister wasn't Leia and that we
would be introduced to Luke's sister in Episode VII. He
suggested Lucas took the easy way out to tie a few loose
ends together.
We then see the rebels land on the forest moon of Endor,
where they have to knock out a shield generator which is
protecting the Death Star. There we see a fantastic speeder
bike scenes and then the introduction of teddy bears called
Ewoks.
I think this is where a lot of the more mature audience
didn't like the movie, they thought the Ewoks were a bit
to kiddish. Though according to George Lucas Ewoks came
from a wookie chopped in 2. Indeed of the Ewok scenes are
indeed a bit slow and boring.
Still the most unrealistic scene is the Space Battle, in
my opinion it is just totally unbelievable that a very small
number of ships can be an entire force of the empire. Even
if the Death Star was destroyed, the fact that the Rebellion
is heavily outnumbered and still win the battle. A prime
example is Have a look at how many rebel ships come out
of Hyperspace compared to when you see the huge number of
star destroyed from the empire....it just doesn't make sense
at all.
We once again see Luke fight Vader and see Anakin Skywalker
reborn again, they were all nice scenes with the music by
John Williams once again being outstanding.
Netherless Return Of The Jedi is still a very good movie,
not as good as the first 2 though. 4/5 stars.
The Good
- Battle Of Endor, even if it was unrealistic, It was
still awesome to watch. Best space battles to date.
- Luke v's Vader Lightsaber Duel.
The Bad
- Space Battle - Just totally unbelievable that a very
small number of ships can be an entire force of the empire.
- Was a bit slow at times during the movie, especially
the Ewok scenes.
- Luke & Leia being brother & sister, for the
fact that they kissed!
