Star Wars - The Return of the Jedi

Star Wars - Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi - *****

The culmination of the original Star Wars trilogy came in the form of the audacious and inventive Return of the Jedi, which was both the brightest and most commercially friendly of the series. Whether it be the heartwarming tale of father and son, the relationship between Leia and Han Solo, or even the irresistibly cute Ewoks, most viewers of this film would acknowledge that there's definitely a different tone to this film. Sure Yoda and Anakin Skywalker dies, but in the end, the Emperor is dead, and the Rebel Alliance has triumphed over evil (and apparently Lucas Film has gone back and revised history again, this time including Hayden Christiansen as Anakin the spirit). It was the perfect way to end perhaps the greatest trilogy of movies ever made. Two films into the prequel trilogy, one can only hope that Lucas can manage to end it on a high note somewhat akin to this, but we all know that Revenge of the Sith cannot end on such a happy note. Never the less, this film was brilliant. Thumbs up.
