10/10
So be it, Jedi!

Warning: Spoilers
Return of the Jedi is a nearly flawless movie. Despite the cute Ewoks (that draws down the suspense only to get some comic relief and sheer cuteness in the movie, things that R2-D2 and C3PO already does, and so much better) and the sequensces on Endor this movie make a tribut and top both A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back!

*Spoilers*

All in thanks to the impressive fight with Jabba the Hutt and Boba Fett on Tatooine in the beginning of the movie and the final battle with Lord Darth Vader and The Emperor in the end of the movie. Yep, the beginning and the ending is the best of this movie and the middle (which consists of Ewoks on Endor) skin down the grading a bit.

But that final fight between the trio Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and the Emperor makes it all up. I am completely captured every time I see it, I am excited and sad at the same time. The ending of the Star Wars saga is brilliant! Evil destroys itself, you could say. Luke doesn't do anything, only his being there is enough for Darth Vader to wake up from his dark sleep and tread the path of Jedi once again. The Emperor has lost and while Vader tosses him down through the reactorhole the dark ruler claims his expupils life. So poetic. And when we finally get to see the frightening Vader's true face all we can feel is pity and sadness. Every tme I cry.

And when the John William score takes place and the saga is over, I am left totally shaken and fragile. I am so happily sad.

Despite the middleboredom I must give this a 10. I just have to. Few movies touch me as this one did.
