Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)

Episode VI - Return of the Merchandising

[5/10 · 10 November 2003]

Like most kids from my generation, I grew up on Star Wars. But if there is such a thing as guilt by association, then there also has to be undue credit by association, and I think Jedi has plenty of that. As part of the original trilogy, it will always be a hallmark film, and it has plenty of good elements. But its main contribution, aside from a happy ending, was cramming a record number of elements in the special effects shots.

Let's face it: a new, improved Death Star and a race of teddy bears? How creatively bankrupt can you get?
