{4.5\/5} “‘We shall double our efforts.’ ‘I hope so, Commander, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.” — Moff Jerjerrod & Darth Vader<\/p>\n

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi<\/strong>, released in 1983<\/p>\n

The Empire is building another Death Star. Meanwhile, on Tatooine C3-PO and R2-D2 become servants of Jabba the Hutt as part of Luke’s plan. Lando is already there posing as a guard. When a bounty hunter arrives seeking the bounty on Chewbacca, Jabba takes a liking to him — but under the suit it’s really a her. At night when everyone’s asleep she unfreezes Han from the carbonite.<\/p>\n

This is the sequel to Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jabba the Hutt and Emperor Palpatine are iconic characters because of their stunning appearances in this movie.<\/p>\n

Stars Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Billy Dee Williams, Ian McDiarmid, and Warwick Davis. Directed by Richard Marquand (Eye of the Needle<\/strong>). John Williams’ themes for Leia and Yoda are beautiful.<\/p>\n

This is the 3rd or 4th time I’ve seen it.<\/p>\n

I previously reviewed Solo<\/strong><\/a> in this series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
