I remember when I watched this for the first time. From the moment it started to the moment it ended, I was glued to the screen and did not see or hear anything else. This episode has the most action in the Original Trilogy, and George Lucas ended the whole story with one of the most satisfying endings I have ever watched.
I am not as impressed with the beginning in Jabba's Palace. I definitely think there could have been a different way to rescue Han, but as soon as Jabba's Sail Barge explodes, things begin to pick up speed. We get our first real look at the Emperor, find out Luke and Leia's history, discover Ewoks, and so much more! I must say that Darth Vader's turn from the dark side is one of my favorite parts in the whole Star Wars Saga...besides the Anakin vs Obiwan fight.
The music is awesome though not the strongest soundtrack. Some popular pieces are The Pit of Carkoon/ Sail Barge Assault, Luke and Leia, The Emperor's Throne Room, Parade of the Ewoks, and Victory Celebration/ End Title.
I would give this movie either a nine or ten. I can't decide..XD
Which of the Original Trilogy is your favorite?
I can hardly pick between the Originals. I love them all so much, way more than the Prequels. I really can't pick one, honestly. I love all three very much. You can't enjoy one without the other two. :D

DeleteI agree, I love this movie! :) The Jabba's palace scene didn't bother me that much(I didn't like the bikini out fit or the weird singers, though) but I like the second half of the movie better. And I agree, the part where Darth Vader returns from the darkside is just amazing! :) Return of the Jedi is definitely my favorite Original Trilogy Star Wars movie(my favorite overall would be Revenge of the Sith) :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is also Revenge of the Sith, but I love them all.
DeleteMy favorite from the original is definitely Empire Strikes Back as I said in my other comment but the whole original trilogy are my Top 3 All-Time favorite movies. I really liked the "Yub Nub" song in the original ending. :)

I agree with you! LOTR for me ties with Star Wars, but the Original Trilogy is definitely in my top movies!
