Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Return of the Jedi is, in my opinion, the best out of the original trilogy created by director George Lucas. In 1977, A New Hope came out into theaters for the first time ever. After popular demand made it possible, Lucas created the second and third installments in this popular series.

The characters more or less remain the same as the last movie. Luke Skywalker is pretty much a full Jedi now, Han Solo is now completely in love with Leia, and Leia is still a beautiful Princess and leader, who likewise loves Han. Chewie has turned into even more of a softie that thinks with his stomach, not his head. The droid duo, C-3PO and R2-D2, are still the same lovable pair, and Darth Vader is still the Emperor's dark cronie.

But, some new characters, like Jabba the Hutt, Admiral Ackbar, Mon Mothma, and Nien Nunb are added to the mix in this Star Wars installation. Jabba the Hutt is a fat gangster that looks like a giant, slimy slug. He's the one that put a price on Han Solo's head, had him encased in carbonite in The Empire Strikes Back, and eventually hung him on a wall in his palace. Admiral Ackbar is a sad-eyed Calamarian that is the supreme Admiral of the Rebel Alliance fleet. While not an expert socialist, he is absolutely genius at planning battle strategies. Mon Mothma is the calm leader of the Rebel Alliance, and later of the New Republic. While not one to jump up and down with glee, she does have a sense of humor. She is from the beautiful world Chandrilla, which looks very similar to Leia's home planet of Alderaan. Nien Nunb is Lando's timid Sullustan smuggling buddy from way back. Lando asked Nien to be his copilot at the Battle of Endor. He's the mousy looking guy that sit's next to Lando in the Falcon.

Return of the Jedi is the longest movie out of the trilogy, and the best. The rating is, of course, PG, and I agree with it. Although I must say that parents should be strongly cautioned about this one. Leia's outfit (if you can call it that) is incredibly skimpy. Consisting only of a small bikini- like top, and a loincloth for the lower body, is it. And several dancers, like Oola, where incredibly inappropriate clothes. One is more like a net. Also, some of things like the Rancor and the Sarlacc are kind of scary. Kids under nine or ten shouldn't see this, and I recommend that parents see it at least once before letting their kids watch it. (Note: The scenes in Jabba's palace are the worst. You might want to fast forward through it. The rest is relatively clean.)
