I noticed that A NEW HOPE and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK are in the TOP 10, but that this one isn't even in the TOP 100.This movie has a bad reputation because of Ewoks, but there are so many reasons... Full review

Up until the sixth and last episode of the Star Wars saga, which finally ended in 2005, I had always looked at this 1983 entry as my favorite film of the long-running series. The varied action scenes and really different... Full review

The last film in Lucas' saga is a lavish, spectacular-looking production. It is often considered the ugly duckling of the original trilogy, but I think it is a notch above episode IV (and just a notch below episodes III and... Full review

When it comes to creating a universe George Lucas is the undisputed master and his final Star Wars film is very, very good (and more appropriately rated in comparison to the two previous films in the original saga). Having recently... Full review

Episode VI- Return of the Jedi, although never reaching the heights of Empire or A New Hope, ends the trilogy on a strong note. The first 37 minutes are terrific. Back on Tatooine, Luke and his buddies make a daring... Full review

This is the film that pretty much answers all the questions. One thing that I did notice is that it dealt with the theme of redemption. Luke pretty much wanted to redeem his father's good name and at the end... Full review

Wikipedia calls this film a "space-opera" due to the intense psychological drama the film possesses;....The best part of the film (and probably why it is dubbed a "space-opera") is the final confrontation between Darth Vader, the emperor, and Luke.....a take all finale by the rebels, not to mention fantastic special effects, probably best to date then..... ...

Which Star Wars Movie is Best....Look at how each of the movies fits into place with the whole picture.....The best movie would have to be the one that brings the series full circle:....The movie is incredibly sad with the destruction of the Jedi order.....There is a great deal of drama in all of the movies and I love them all, even The Phantom Menace..... ...

Many others disagree, but I definitely prefer the DVD's ending song to the old Ewok "Yub Yub" number from the original movie.
The weakest link came from shadowy shots.
Unfortunately, this disc acted funky in my drive and I couldn't access it.
