Return of the Jedi

The last installment of the original trilogy is also its most underwhelming. Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi failed to live up to expectations. To some degree, after what came before it, that’s understandable (so we can almost forgive it for introducing the Ewoks).

Despite its flaws, it’s still a highly satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. In addition to the evolution of its characters, Return of the Jedi included some exciting action scenes (the speeder chase), offered plenty of quotable moments (Admiral Ackbar’s It’s a trap), and featured the original trilogy’s best special effects.

George Lucas “improved” it later using dodgy CGI, but ultimately, he didn’t ruin it completely.
