Happy 30th Return of the Jedi
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Tags: None -

Way back then, I was visiting my sister in South-Africa.
In those days, it took six months for a film to get to Belgium, so I saw ROTJ first in Johannesburg. What a rush!
I sent teaser postcards to my friends in Belgium saying "guess who dies?"
I felt like Homer Simpson after he'd seen ESB!.

I love this movie. I see the "overly-cutesy" problem with the Ewoks, yet it isn't a dealbreaker for me. It's interesting that if the "pre-split" STAR WARS script was made into a movie, they would've had to have made the Ewoks Wookies as an effort to consolidate "primitive societies" races in a one-movie story... but just like changing Obi-Wan's role to Yoda's in ESB, new opportunities arose from splitting the original story into three full length movies. But, really, even as a kid, the Ewok-related stuff was the least interesting to me.
Jabba was my favorite trilogy character outside of the two main male heroes back in the day... and as an adult, I still love Jabba, but the singularly evil character of the Emperor is who now comes in number three for me as far as favorite Star Wars characters for me. And although the Emperor's shining moments in the saga are in Episode Three, it's Return Of The Jedi where I first got to see the awesome character.
So, trading the Ewoks balanced out by both Jabba AND the Emperor... well, I think that's a pretty cool trade-off.
Happy Birthday ROTJ!"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

The music score when Luke fights the last part of melee with Vader is awesome!
That scene was always excellent and fantastic!!!
Jedi has many, many wonderful moments.Comment

It's a very early teaser trailer that played with the re-release of Empire Strikes Back. Jedi was not even close to being finished and wouldn't be out until a year later. It's still cool because it has the original Revenge title and has some things that were different or not in the finished movie, like the sandstorm scene and Luke's blue lightsaber.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

Thank goodness Lucas realized the error of having "Revenge" in the title. I recall him mentioning that in interviews, but I'd love to delve into that more. I wonder how long it took him to change his mind once he started considering the change."No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'.
