40 years after its debut, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi still remains a divisive film among Star Wars fans. Is it a grand conclusion to one of the most influential movie trilogies in history? Or does it lack the dramatic weight of its predecessors, particularly Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back? Where most of the division lies is in the film's third act, which features three levels of action. Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams) leads the Rebel Alliance's starships in a battle against the second Death Star. On Endor, Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), and their various allies work to disable the shields surrounding the planet-killer. And aboard the Death Star II, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) battles his father Darth Vader, as well as the corruptive influence of Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid).
