Classic Friday : Star Wars Episode VI – Return Of The Jedi (1983) 8/10

Starring : Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Alec Guiness, James Earl Jones, Frank Oz
Director : Richard Marquand
Running Time : 126 mins

While Darth Vader (Jones) is building a new Death Star, Luke Skywalker (Hamill) tries to rescue his good friend Han Solo (Ford) from the clutches of the evil Jabba The Hutt. Once free, the friends join up with the rebel forces once again and journey to Endor, where Vader’s forces have set up camp.

Not the best of the series, but definitely better than any of the recent instalments. This movie really felt like it was trying to appeal to kids, perhaps in a worthless attempt by Lucas to sell his forthcoming Ewok movies (man, they were REALLY bad!), but in spite of the obvious Muppet invasion and cutesy characters that felt kind of out of place, this is still a timeless movie that all kids will definitely enjoy.
