Return of the Jedi* (1983) – It introduces lots more iconic creatures
(yes, that includes the stormtrooper-eating Ewoks)—not to mention an iconic
bikini—and it’s the most technically impressive of the three (which is really
saying something), although it’s somewhat less ambitious than its predecessor
in terms of storytelling and it’s prone to goofiness (not just where the Ewoks
are concerned, although the Endor scenes are comparatively weak); but while it’s
the most uneven film in the trilogy, it completes the important character arcs
in a very satisfying manner and successfully concludes what is for my money
probably the all-around greatest film trilogy ever. 8
