Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi


The movie started off where Episode V started off with a great beginning act involving the rescue of Han Solo.  That was interesting and was done well.  There are many more battle scenes which are bigger and more visually spectacular than the preceding films.  The plot was also nice and wrapped up the trilogy with the downfall of the Empire.  I found that the middle of the film dragged on and was a bit bland compared to the beginning and ending.  It seemed that the events that happened weren't as crucial.  The bombshell involving the relationship between Luke and Leia was weird and a bit hard to accept, especially since it pretty much came out of nowhere.  The special effects were amazing for it's time and still holds it's own today.  The variety of vehicles were good.  The light sabre fight between Darth Vader and Luke was great, you couldn't tear your eyes off the screen for the duration of that battle.  Of course, how can you forget the scene where you finally get to see Darth Vader unmasked.
