    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      It took six people to work the full-sized animatronic of Jabba the Hutt.
    • Goofs
      When Vader is searching for Luke in the Emperor's throne room, he is holding his ignited 'red blade' lightsaber in his right hand, and another unignited lightsaber handle in his left hand. This is because of a deleted scene where Luke throws his lightsaber out to Vader.
    • Quotes

      Luke Skywalker: I'll not leave you here. I've got to save you.

      Anakin Skywalker: You already have, Luke.

    • Crazy credits
      To compensate for the longer credits, later versions of the film like the special edition and DVD release extend the piece of musical score that plays over the credits.
    • Alternate versions
      The Special Edition slightly re-edits the closing on Endor. Originally, there is one medium shot of the ghosts of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, followed by Luke rejoining his friends, and then another long shot of Anakin, Obi-Wan and Yoda. For the special edition, the medium shot is split in two, so that the first medium shot is shorter, and ends with Obi-Wan looking down at Yoda, then cuts to Luke rejoining the rebels, then cuts back to the rest of the medium shot, before cutting to Luke, and then finally back to the long shot of the ghosts.

    Best of the lot
    Of the original three this is the best one. Returning to the lighter approach of the 1977 film I felt. The chemistry was back among the main characters, I enjoyed the intro of the ewoks and the little rat pet if Jabba's. This one is a true sc-fi classic.
