Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b2/ReturnOfTheJediPoster1983.jpg Dir: Richard Marquand Genre: Science Fiction, Adventure Year: 1983 The original Star Wars trilogy is the greatest trilogy in movie history, bar none. That should come as no surprise, considering it is the only series on this list to have all three films in my Top 250 (and all three come in my top 61 at that!). I feel that this needed to be said, as these movies (and particularly RotJ) have been subject to very annoying criticism in the past several years. Return of the Jedi was the perfect ending to such a brilliant space opera. I'm not going to get into how the sequel trilogy is virtually destroying its legacy, but the Luke/Empire story should have absolutely ended here. The movie is as grand as it needed to be, given the unparalleled hype it had leading up to its release. I could go on about various scenes of the movie and why they're great, but I'll stick to the ending itself. The Luke/Vader confrontation at the end might be the single-greatest part of the OT, with the emotion just seeping through as Vader So yes, RotJ is the weakest of the OT, but that is only a testament to how incredible these films are. And one more thing--this is entirely based on the version that I've always chosen to watch (the early 90s VHS release). None of that CGI Anakin bullshit at the end. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard! |
