My guarantee: On ALL of my reviews there are NO spoilers unless I give you warning.
STAR WARS VI: Return of the Jedi (1983):
Han Solo is a captive. Luke tries to find a way to free him from the terrible Jabba the Hutt. In other parts of the galaxy, the empire is still not giving up. They are building something, even worse then the original Death Star. But the rebels might have found a way to destroy it. A small band of them go to a jungled planet to try to get the shield down, so the rest of the rebellion can attack, but they get lost and are surrounded by strange creatures. Luke must decide what he must do to become a Jedi Knight.
"Twilight is upon me and night must come."
Length: approx. 124 minutes.
Costumes: 7, there are some "skimpy" or gross ones, but it is amazing what they did without CGI!
My favorite: I like how everyone else gets ponchos, but Han gets the long coat. (Just joking!)

IV: A New Hope: 0
V: The Empire Strikes Back: 2
VI: Return of the Jedi: 4
I: The Phantom Menace: 0
II: Attack of the Clones: 2
III: Revenge of the Sith: 0

What!? No one voted for my favorite! Episode IV! But, this and episode VIII were voted the favorites!
Thank you so much for reading! Do you agree with the poll results?

Yes! The older movies are the best! Though, IV will always be my favorite. :) Thanks for commenting, Rakayle!
DeleteI love pretty much all of the Star Wars, but this one was a favorite.
ReplyDeleteYes! This is one of my favorites, too! It has such an amazing ending, and of course, Ewoks! ;)
DeleteThis is my favorite of the original trilogy, and probably still edges Rogue One out to be my favorite of all. And yes, Han looks smashing in his long coat. How fun that you relate strongly to Luke Skywalker!
ReplyDeleteRogue One is good, but it will never beat the originals! Especially this one. Yes, you can definitely tell who is in charge. :-) Yeah, I didn't realize it until last year, but once I did I couldn't believe that our personallities are so close!
DeleteThat one is my favorite from the older movies! - June
ReplyDeleteIt is a good one to pick as a favorite!
DeleteI think V is the best of the original trilogy, but I do like this one. So cool that you relate to Luke!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo looking forward to all the Star Wars reviews coming up. (Hopefully all culminating with IX in December??)
Everytime I watch any of the original trilogy I claim that it is my favorite, but the true favorite for me is IV. Yes! In this movie we are the same! :)
DeleteI am hoping that I can get them all in, in time *fingers crossed*. Look for more Star Wars reviews in May!
Great article on a wonderful movie--and was not aware that it was James Earl Jones's birthday last week! Many feel that this is the best of the three original fiulms--it is a delight from start to finish. Wonderfully illustrated post as well!
