“Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi” Movie Review
“Return Of The Jedi” Plot Summary
After rescuing Han Solo from the palace of Jabba the Hutt, the Rebels attempt to destroy the Second Death Star, while Luke Skywalker tries to bring his father back to the Light Side of the Force.
Greatest Cinematic Film Of All Time
Despite the feelings of most ‘Star Wars’ fans, in my opinion ‘Return Of The Jedi’ is the greatest cinematic film ever created. Ever since the first time I saw it, it’s depth, intensity, special effects, and moving story have overwhelmed me. The film was so well put together that it has been able to stand the test of time over the last 20 years. Filled with powerful action, as the climax of the original trilogy, George Lucas gives us a rousing finish of the ‘Star Wars’ saga in ‘Jedi’.Film Summary (Contains Spoilers For Those Who Have Not Seen It)After ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ left us hanging for 3 long years we finally find the end of the story in ‘Return Of The Jedi’. Darth Vader, in emotional turmoil makes a surprise visit to a new uncompleted Death Star to oversee it’s construction. The Emperor is first seen in this film as he has the ultimate plan to destroy the Rebel Alliance and bring young Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side. Luke, Lando, Leia, Chewie, and the droids all travel to Tatooine to rescue the frozen Han Solo from the crime Lord; Jabba The Hutt. After Han has been rescued, and Jabba defeated, Luke returns to Dagobah to find a dying Yoda where he learns the awful truth; Darth Vader is in fact his father. The rebel heroes regroup with the Rebel Fleet. Now joined by other species and races including the Mon Calamari the Rebels must make a all-or-nothing plan of attack to destroy the Death Star before it is completed. While Lando heads the space attack in the Millennium Falcon, the Rebel heroes must disable the Death Star’s shield generator on the Forest Moon Of Endor. It is here that the Rebels happen upon the furry, but mighty Ewoks. During the the two part intense battle, a third battle must take place as Luke willingly delivers himself to Vader in an attempt to convince him to leave the Dark Side. In emotionally charged sequences Luke must face his father as the Emperor lures out his dark emotions. As young Skywalker is about to face his death at the hands of Palpatine, Vader turns on his wicked master to save his son’s life. Filled with a deep timeless story of good vs. evil, ‘Return Of The Jedi’ is a spectacular, emotionally charged film that redeems the good in all of us.

“The Empire Strikes Back” Plot Summary
While Luke takes advanced Jedi training from Yoda, his friends are relentlessly pursued by Darth Vader as part of his plan to capture Luke.
Best of the best
I cannot believe some people out there didn’t like this film, yet claim to have enjoyed Episode One. No comparison whatsoever. ‘The Empire Strike Back’ is George Lucas’ best contribution to human history, and it will be remembered long after most other science fiction films have gone the way of the Do-Do Bird. The optical effects still stand the test of time, and the acting is superb. Harrison Ford, Mark Hamil and Carrie Fisher are all better than they we in the original Star Wars, having fully developed and grown into their characters, and the story just keeps going and going, from asteroid fields to swamp planets to cities in the sky, everything in this film works. So ignore anyone who claims to dislike it, and see it for yourself if you haven’t already done so. 20 out of 10!!Oh, and Han Solo shot first! =)

“Star Wars” Movie Review
“Star Wars IV: A New Hope” Plot Summary
Luke Skywalker leaves his home planet, teams up with other rebels, and tries to save Princess Leia from the evil clutches of Darth Vader.
One of the most popular films of all time, and understandably so
I was never a ‘Star Wars’ guy growing up. I wouldn’t say that I was a ‘Star Trek’ guy growing up either (‘Doctor Who’ was my sci-fi franchise of choice growing up, and still is, even though I’m not a big fan of Russell T. Davies’ version of the show), but I would definitely choose my favorite episodes of the original series or ‘Deep Space 9′, ‘The Wrath of Khan’, and ‘The Undiscovered Country’ over any ‘Star Wars’ film. I’ve seen the original trilogy a couple of times previously, once as a kid, once in my mid-teens, and now I sit down to watch ‘Star Wars’ again, having been inspired by catching half of ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ on TV recently and being enthralled by it
The first thing that struck me is how great the opening shot is, just after the scrolling text that is. The rest of the movie was pretty much how I remembered it being- a collection of great set-pieces and memorable characters, and a great mythology, but with a story which wasn’t nearly as grand and great as ‘The Empire Strikes Back’. Although a point of criticism aimed at ‘Star Wars’ by its (relatively few) detractors is that it doesn’t quite match the real feel of a 30’s/40’s serial, I think that it really does, and not only in the way it is shot and the transitional wipes and all that, but in the writing, the acting, and just about everything else. It has that same sense of adventure, and although this particular film is nowhere near as good as some of my favorite serials, it remains something which very accurately captures the feel of watching one of those, and its popularity (and the popularity of ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’) is hence quite understandable, as very few of even the big summer blockbusters have the same sensibility and sense of adventure, and well, fun
Watching ‘Star Wars’, in spite of it not being my favorite of the original trilogy, serves as a reminder of the talent which George Lucas had at one point. I don’t think this film is as good as his previous effort, ‘American Graffiti’, which is the greatest ‘coming of age’ film I’ve ever seen, and one of the most beautiful films ever made from a visual standpoint, but it’s still got spirit and energy which his later efforts just don’t. It’s quite sad, really. There’s really nothing I can say that hasn’t been said already (which is true, certainly of many popular films, but this is freakin’ ‘Star Wars’, so trust me, I have NOTHING to add to what has already been said). There are ‘Star Wars’ devotees who swear it is the greatest of the trilogy and one of the best movies ever made, there are detractors who think it’s cheesy nonsense, and then there are others like me who like it quite a bit, but aren’t sure where all the extravagant praise comes from. ‘The Empire Strikes Back’… Well, that’s a whole other story.8/10
