NOTE: This was supposed to come out the day before TROS, but I had some copyright woes that delayed it a few days. That's why it seems like I hadn't seen TROS yet. Because like... I hadn't.

The odds of being murdered by an Ewok are low, but never zero.

There’s this little detail I really admire all throughout ROTJ, and that’s the narrative detail put into Luke’s costume. In the first movie, he wears solid white. In the second film, his main costume is all grey. In the third film, his costume turns jet black, just like Vader’s. It helps reinforce the idea that maybe this isn’t a good thing, maybe he really will turn to the dark side. But then, after he rejects Palpatine, throws away his lightsaber, and declares himself a Jedi, a panel on his tunic pops open to reveal white fabric underneath.

I agree! After all this time, ROTJ is still my favorite.

It's funny, it's actoin packed, it's intense, it's meaningfull, it's sad, and it has a good moral. A perfect example of a movie.

The meaning behind the green lightsaber is, a blue lightsaber wouldn’t have shown up in front of a blue sky during the Tatooine scenes so they needed to change the color. It’s still dope as hell and 9-year-old me lost my shit at the sight of it.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that Leia doesn't have a character arc. By the time we meet Leia in a New Hope, she is already a driven and altruistic individual. Even when her planet, her home, her people is destroyed, she refuses to reveal the rebellion's location. Like Superman before her, it's not Leia that needs to become a better person, it's the galaxy around her that needs to learn from her.

If I hadn't subscribed 30 minutes earlier because of the Lighthouse video, I would have done it for the "don't AT-AT me" line alone

People complain about the second Death star but its place in the story is completely different. In Episode IV Death Star is the ultimate symbol of the empire's totalitarian use of technology for the sake of control. The whole movie has an anti-war, anti-technology theme which culminates in Luke turning off the autopilot and using his instincts to blow up the Death Star. In Episode VI Death Star is a bait that the emperor uses to lure all his enemies into a trap just so he can turn Luke to the Dark side - and his plan works 100%! I also don't understand how anyone could dislike the finale of Episode VI when it offers the first full scale space battle with actual fleets instead of the cat and mouse plays that we had gotten so far. This had such an influence that almost every Star Wars movie since tried to mimic it but they never surpassed it's level (maybe in ROTS and Rogue One but that's debatable).

weirdest resolution to a love triangle that has ever existed *twilight has entered the room*

I love RotJ. I'm regularly confused why so many star wars fans seem to hate everything to do with star wars lol

This is so wholesome. AND YES THE EWOKS USING STORM STROOPER HEADS AS DRUMS IS CUTE. ADORABLE MURDEROUS BABIES!!! >:D

I was never a huge Star Wars fan, but this movie brought back a lot of memories from my childhood. I just watched this movie tonight. Probably hadn't seen it in over 30 years. Amazing! So many memorable scenes from the Ewoks to the face of Darth Vader.

Return of the Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie, and it has always been largely influenced by the throne room conflict which starts as a battle of wills, continues as such introducing lightsabers. Vader searching for Luke hiding in the dark him probe for what will reveal his location, what will turn him, finding the Lea angle and the raw savage emotion of Luke coming out swinging with that fantastic score the blood rage and then the moment were he stops and sees himself becoming vader and completes his training rejecting the violence throwing his weapon away has and will always be my favorite scene in the franchise.

Yesss my favorite as a kid my favorite As an adult

"They hadn't invented shovels yet" fuckin KILLED me

I love hearing people talk about stuff they’re passionate about so this video made me quite happy 😂

Always will be my favorite!!

ROTJ has such a very specific and wonderful flavour. It really feels like they designed the whole stew around that sweet sweet taste of overcoming a tremendous obstacle on a physical, mental and spiritual level.

Return of the Jedi is my favorite movie of all time😄

As someone who, while loving the other two of the OG trilogy, definitely counts Jedi as my fav, I really appreciate this video omg. Also, just to share this tidbit about Palpatine: a friend of mine put it really well, about how effective he is, when pointing out that moment when Luke finally definitely rejects him...and he really FROWNS. For the FIRST TIME. And, even if you don't realize it, instinctively as an audience you just go...oh shit. That was him HAPPY. Up till now, he's been HAPPY. FUCK. (also also, your cat is super cute, give them lots of pets and head scratches from me XD)

Return was always my favorite. Respect. ✊😢

I teared up several times watching this video as you reminded me of whats beautiful about the themes of Return of the Jedi. Thanks for making this.

I see you didn’t use a clip of the Hayden Christiansen force ghost, we know where your allegiances lie.

Great analysis! I've always felt that Return gets way too little credit. It's my favorite of the original trilogy. Thank you for putting the reasons into words so well.

Thank you for making this video. Return of the Jedi is criminally underrated both as a film in the Star Wars franchise and as a standalone film.

Return of the Jedi is ny personal favorite too

been my fave since I was wee

Legendary video, return of the Jedi is my absolute favorite

THANK YOU. The ewoks are great

Thank you! I love Return of the Jedi. It's got so many great moments, and it's a very satisfying conclusion to the story. Every single line of dialogue by Palpatine; the conflict that is somehow visible on Darth Vader's mask as his son is about to die; Luke's rage, which he eventually manages to overcome when he tosses his light saber aside; and yeah, the Ewoks. I like the Ewoks. They fit the story thematically, as you've eloquently explained, and also, they're really fuzzy and cute and even funny. I love how they use their "primitive" guerilla tactics to fight to empire, how that battle goes back and forth - some traps work, but some don't; it's all fun and games, until one Ewok dies and his comrade tries to wake him up, then realizing he's gone and sighing in grief. It's just so good! I think one man is to blame for all this hate towards ROTJ, and that man is Kevin Smith. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, but that one scene in Clerks somehow managed to convince a lot of people that ROTJ is bad, and worse yet, that you actually have to choose between Empire Strikes Back and ROTJ. I've always seen them as parts of the same story, complementing each other rather than competing with one another. Also, the argument against ROTJ in Clerks is ridiculous - yeah, it had Muppets - but so did the other movies. Also, it's Dante saying it, and he's a mopey idiot.

Just discovered your channel, and I have to say that I kind of love this format. It’s very cozy - you just sitting down and talking casually about your favorite film. Feels inviting for discussion and consideration

Choosing your favorite Star Wars movie is like choosing your wand at Olivander's, it chooses you. That said, Jedi is my favorite.

I also loved The Return of the Jedi the most because of seeing all this amazin character development coming to such an fullfilling end. Also the Imperator is the best villain ever for me, there was never such thrilling, calculated and evil beeing ever. I agree with all you points, love this review especially in these days after disney ruined this beloved franchise to the ground. Thank you so much for reminding me why I loved Star Wars so much

Great video!!!!! You had good narrative insight that i hadn't ever considered. Even though i may be coming from a place of nostalgia bias, i agree with you about how incredible ROTJ is, especially about jabbas palace being such a iconic place.

THANK YOU! I've been beating this drum for years.

I saw Return of the Jedi as a kid on VHS tape so much that the TV ate my VHS Tape. It was the first Star Wars film I ever saw, and I always felt like it was 3 episodes of a tv show and I loved it so much. Also, the Ewoks scare me. In the beginning, they want to eat the heroes. In the end, they are use empty storm trooper armor as musical instruments. They eat human flesh.

Return of the Jedi is also my favorite Star Wars movie.

Keep up the absurdly exceptional work man. I love your channel. This video got me inspired and teary eyed like a binary sunset.

Lucas did admit at one point he made Leia Luke's sister because he needed a reason for Luke to get mad at Vader and the Emperor for *something* during that last confrontation. So them threatening Leia, his sister, was the solution.

Hey man I was brought here after watching your newer horror reviews after finding your lighthouse video but I thought I'd say here that I absolutely love your content! your personality is unique and enjoyable and your knowledge and intelligence shines in your reviews and your comedy within them, I'm looking forward to seeing whatever you post in the future on this channel! Very happy to have found you and shown you to the people around me, keep up the good work.

THANK YOU! It’s my favorite too, and people are always like: no way empire strikes back-barf

The lightsaber fight in RotJ is my favorite in the franchise, for the sheer weight of the emotions the characters are feeling and how their acting is conveyed by their fighting style. And possibly my favorite thing about it is that it's completely irrelevant to the larger Battle of Endor. As far as we know, that shield generator is going down and Lando's blowing up that big space-ball, whether Luke wins the battle for Vader's soul or not. But it's important to Luke, and Vader, and the Emperor, so it's important to *us*.

And yet so many people fail to notice it. Return of the jedi has the happiest ending of any star wars movie.

Ok, now I have to watch it, again. Good video.

I was watching ur midsommar video then I saw this and now I have to instantly sub, this is the best one, the PERFECT ending

Took me long enough but I FINALLY watched this video and I agree 100%. Brilliant as always.

Forever one of my favorites. Really good video! I've binged all of them and am patiently waiting for more. I look forward to seeing anything you make. Thank you for your insight. Cheers! P.S. you should do a video on the two made for T.V. Ewok movies. Little known gems that were harmless fun!

Thanks man finally someone who like Return of the Jedie

Just found your channel. Watched your lighthouse video. (Very interesting) RotJ has the best scene in all of Star Wars. That scene is when Luke, after achieving the defeat of Vader, is offered his father's power and does the most memorable maneuver any Jedi has ever done. He tosses his weapon, his lightsaber, away. It's the one tactic that we cannot imagine any sith ever doing. And it solidifies Luke's resolve to never join the dark side no matter the cost. Truly EPIC!!!

So glad to I've stumbled upon your channel due to your lighthouse vid, looks like I'm gonna be doing a binge of your content. It's clear you're very passionate about film and storytelling keep up the good work. Edit: I see by your use of the original theatrical cut you're a man of taste. Welcome to the dark side, where Han shot first 😉

ROTJ is my third favorite. My 2nd favorite is Empire, and my 1st favorite is Sith.

man I wish you had more videos. congrats from Brazil. welldone.

RotJ was always a favorite of mine, too. This was good stuff :)

thanks for this vid. it's always been my fav too for a lot of the reasons you cite

All I gotta say is: Thank you.

ROTJ was always my favorite growing up, mostly just for the Luke/Vader scenes. TLJ pushed it into second, but it's a closer second now than it was before watching this.

OH! You put into words what I always felt about RotJ, this was amazing!!

If you imagine the emperor's hood is his hair he looks a LOT like old ozzy osbourne

A) Love your cat! B) I could not agree with you more! ROTJ is my favorite SW movie for all those reasons. C) How can you NOT love Wicket!!??? D) Great review! Many excellent points!! May the Force be with you...

11:59-13:10 this was brilliant. Also this 15:25 This is also my number one favorite movie of all time.

The Good stuff in ROTJ is soooo good and the only big weakness is the Han/Leia messing around in the forest in the last act of the movie. Its obvious they had nothing for them to do but they needed to be in the movie.

RotJ has always been my favorite of the original trilogy. It's not perfect, but its highs are among my favorite moments in the entire franchise. Though I'm not sure if I'd like it quite as much if I rewatched it now, being a bit more cynical about the idea of one good deed before is death somehow redeeming Vader for years of atrocities.

rotj has luke with his green lightsaber and black hand nuff said

Your taste is impeccable :).

Return of the Jedi is the correct answer, good choice.

Yeah Return Of The Jedi is actually my favorite Star Wars movie

Thank you

I feel like a lot of the reason people don't like ROTJ is that it has a second Death Star. One really stupid decision is just too much I guess. Edit: I also love the little costume detail where Luke's black outfit gets damaged once he finally denies the dark side, revealing a patch of white over his heart.

I 100% agree

Jedi does rock, mostly because of Jabba and The Emperor. It's a strange feeling going back and forth between the Emperor scene and the Ewoks. I think Empire had the best dialogue of the trilogy.

Always considered Empire the better one. But you make some very compelling points :D

Seriously it’s weird how people dislike it simply because of the Ewoks. They’re only 1% of the entire movie. Why is it that gets people turned off for the whole thing?

I’m very impressed with how much thematic depth you found in ROTJ. It’s always been my favorite because I preferred the exciting, campy tone to the slower, moodier of 4 and 5. But you actually changed the way I think about Luke’s arc and the Emperor’s manipulation.

That's a cute cat bro 😻

Why it's the best - best effects film..ever- best role model ever(Luke will sacrifice himself to improve the universe-best manipulative machiavellian villain performance ever-a sense of the bond between friends and their passing into the next life-the best writing of the trilogy moving through hope,darkness,rebirth.

This was my favorite as a kid--probably the movie I rented the most at the video store--this or Back to the Future. Now, I think Empire is the better film, probably my favorite. But kid-me would've said Return. Good video

About the Leias ark (I stopped to type this at 4:46, there might me other conclusions you came up with). Sometimes we need those strong people who have it together (well, all the time). There are plenty of character arcs in the WHOLE Star Wars Saga to enjoy and relate to... even C3PO got one... did he really thou hmm? this comment if more of a note to myself when I drink wine and watch (listen really) other people analyse things never done that before, but I will from now on (well, will I really?). I find myself losing my thought while listening to other peoples take on things and not noting it, often just expanding on what the creators say... maybe other people can relate Anyway, love your channel, subscribed after seeing the Lighthouse analysis... Excuse my drunken self Well, I'm not sorry x

You should consider recording the whole soundtrack a capella... It's THAT good! 😜

One thing about the Ewoks that is often listed as a criticism but I think should be examined a little deeper and seen as a positive is the actual ASSAULT the Ewoks put against the Empire. The common criticism is "how did these dudes whip together all of these attacks and booby traps in, like, and afternoon?" And I think the thing we should see is... it was never just an afternoon. They had been planning and building this stuff for MONTHS. We saw how they reacted to the Rebels in their forest, you can easily imagine they STARTED with the same reaction to the Empire, only to suffer for it. So they went home, licked their wounds, and plotted revenge. And the Empire never even noticed because they thought the fuzzy bastards were too inferior. In an alternate timeline, the Ewoks might have overrun the shield generator all by themselves just on pure, jagged SPITE. If anything, the Rebels came in and screwed up THEIR plans.

New Hope is still my favourite followed closely by Revenge of the Sith, which was so dark for me at 10 or 11 when I saw it, I felt physically ill and was horrified by order 66. It was one of the greatest theatre experiences in retrospect to this day!

2nd favourite star wars film There is another... ROTS

I hated the Ewoks so much that my favorite scene is when one of the Ewoks gets blasted and a second Ewok mourns over his body, all sad and whatnot. But it is a great movie...Ewoks aside. EDIT: Ha! You showed it! I LOL'ed!

Now this movie is the movie that not every protagonist is the hero of the story they twist it by giving the antagonist the chance they needed since the first movie like Luke giving Vader the chance to save him and overthrowing Palpatine for the advantage to save his son than both killing and becoming the man that he swore not to become from the first movie which gives Vader the character ark that makes him the protagonist of the skywalker saga which is a very large twist. George is very smart with making movies like these to give a good message that not everyone is the "Hero" of each story.

I was a little girl when a New Hope came out. It was an instant favorite and I saw it three times in the theater. Which was a big thing back then. You only saw a movie once and then not again until maybe years later when it came back in theaters. We didn't have home video or streaming. So if you liked a movie you went back to see it again and again. Empire strikes back was brilliant for the twist reveal at the end. It was the biggest secret everyone was talking about. Or not talking about depending on if you had seen the movie. I get why people like it today but it's still not my favorite. Mostly because it ends unfinished. Nobody gets what they want in the end of that movie. Vader doesn't get his son. Luke loses his way. Leah loses Han. And Han is lost to a bounty hunter. Even Lando loses his cushy mining operation. But return of the Jedi was the absolute best of all Star Wars movies. And that includes the prequels and sequels. ROTJ resolved all the character arcs in a satisfying way. It created the emperor as the most malevolent villain in movie history. And that last 30 minutes with three battles going on at the same time had me literally on the edge of my seat. I saw this movie three times in the theater. And hundreds of times when it finally came out on video. You cannot do a finale better than this one. As for the ewoks, yes they were cute but people forget they were actually vicious savages. Remember they were going to roast and eat our heroes when they first met them. And then you had all those dead stormtrooper helmets they're casually playing drums on at the end. But the most heartbreaking scene is when the two ewoks get shot and one dies leaving the other to moan in agony. People think Baby Yoda is cute and deadly but it was the ewoks who first brought cute and deadly to Star Wars. I only wish the prequels hadn't ruined Anakin Skywalker's character and the sequels hadn't ruined Luke Skywalker. Both of them had potential. We see Luke much better developed in books and animated series. Anakin is a much better character in the animated Clone Wars series.

I love ROTJ, but even if all the other scenes sucked, the film would be worth the viewing for the showdown between Luke and Vader. Just fantastic action and emotional suspense. The light saber duel is more riveting than most of the fancy showmanship in the prequels because you care so much about the stakes.

Comment of engagement for the algorithm overlords

Yeah-It's the best one imo :)

The quality difference between Return of the Jedi and Rise of Skywalker is night and day.

One thing the Disney EU has done exceedingly well has been to illustrate Vader and Palpatines toxic and complicated relationship. From the asshole father/son dynamic, to Palpatine always letting him subtly know who’s in charge, to the fucking head games he plays, just damn.

My favorite is A new hope, i'm a sucker for beginnings; i feel the same about other series as well. It might be that sequels are hard; tough Empire strikes back seems competent in my eyes. I will leave more movie recommendations as i remember them. This time it's Jacob's Ladder (edit: the 90's version). Again, i didn't think it was horror, but i guess you could see it as such, it's probably an age thing. Ask for more recommendations if you want them; otherwise i'll just leave 1 per comment. Cheers !

👍💯😉

Thank you I’ve always wondered why this film gets so much shit. The ewoks are goofy and for toy sales, but they are integrated well and being levity to a tense movie of constant struggle. Also I’d get a person not watching it till their 30’s thinking the ending is contrived but it did that story as good as it gets from that era of big bold trilogy stories.

Thanks for defending ROTJ, it's got an unfair rep of being safe and lazy and you defended it quite well. But I disagree on your point about the camerawork. Lucas has always wanted his films to feel like documentaries because it blurs the line of what's real and what's not. Also the "you stand here, you stand here and action" is pretty true for all of the original 6 films most of the time. Lucas wanted a more raw performance and would only step in to correct them beyond just saying "faster and more intense" if he felt like the actors were doing something wrong.The rawness is meant to feed into the realism that the documentary style filmmaking creates. Directors like Ridley Scott, Satyajit Ray and many more used this same method of directing actors. You're right about Leia being Luke's sister not being planned consciously from the start but there's something interesting about how these characters were created. Lucas was toying around with making the protagonist a girl but changed his mind and made her a separate princess character and he even had ideas of Luke having to rescue his brother alongside rescuing Leia in ANH but this brother character was scrapped. These two things kinda make the two siblings from the start but it was unconscious in Lucas's mind until he made it to ROTJ. Luke and Leia were the representations of the traditional male and female hero, the male having to go on a journey to mature into a hero and with the female, she is already already the hero the male aspires to be, she just needs to be able to reclaim her femininity while also being able to stay strong and independant. It's why she struggles with allowing herself to fall in love with Han, she doesn't want to lose that independence she has. But she ends up realising that Han is the right guy for her, she loves him too and he won't hinder her ability to be who she wants to be. Lucas isn't saying that these traditional gendered hero's journeys are absolute though, remember that he was gonna have a female Luke go through the traditionally male hero's journey until he changed his mind. Luke and Leia form a whole that can either be expressed in a romantic coupling or as a sibling pair. Leia's line when she learns of her relation to Luke, "somehow I've always known", isn't her saying she consciously knew this truth. It was deep in her subconscious and it's the same for Lucas, this line is fun because it also works as a nod to what went on behind the scenes. Lucas's version of the sequels would've had Leia realising that the New Republic was going down the same path that the Republic of before was and she would've changed the system and be an example of how to rule effectively and with proper care. Also yeah, you're spot on about ROTJ's story structure. You made a great observation about the theme of friendship and explained it quite well. Also thanks for making fun of the people complaining about the plan to rescue Han, Lando can't get Han out by himself because there's too many eyes. And it's easy to just assume that Jabba is known for using Sarlaccs as a method of execution. There's also the fact that Luke is teetering on the edge between light and dark, we see him use techniques like Force Choke and we can say he's relying on visions to get to Jabba just like what Palpatine did later on in this very film. The prequels also expand on this because Anakin's visions and the fear those visions gave him led him down to becoming Vader, Luke is dangerously close to this. But we still see Luke follow the Jedi ideal of fighting in self-defence when he keeps on giving Jabba a chance to just give up Han and walk away freely. Also good job by showing that other moments like Obi-Wan sneaking around the Death Star and Luke on Cloud City can also be given stupid nitpicks. I agree, Jabba's Palace is so fun and full of life. Perfect description of Jabba The Hutt. Yep, Palpatine is one of the greatest villains of all time. YES, I've rarely seen people compare the Death Star II to Dagobah and it's great seeing you do so! A lot of moments in the series mirror each other and Lucas made sure to make most of these parallels have deep thematic value. Absolutely correct on the vulnerability of Vader. True, Ewoks are great! Also the Ewoks symbolise a return of a childish innocence lost when the Empire was formed. Jar Jar works because he represents this same innocence, we see him being silly throughout TPM and then 10 years later in AOTC, we see that he's matured somewhat into the adult world of politics and finally in ROTS, we see him briefly at the end mourning Padme. He's no longer the representation of youth and innocence he was so long ago. The appearance of the Ewoks hint at the end of the Empire, people only hate the Ewoks because they couldn't see the full picture back in 1983. Very good analysis of the final battle, also yeah the two Death Star battles are very different. Also the second Death Star being more exposed does fit into the vulnerability of Vader and it also functions to help Luke. He's watching the battle from within the super-weapon, the battle for him is no longer out there but here in his mind. Also yeah, the themes of collaboration are very very strong. I love Ackbar too. I saw the films in chronological order so the green lightsaber wasn't a shock to me but the green does mean something. In SW, blue and red don't just mean good and evil, blue can also represent reason/logic while red can also represent passion. Green represents nature and balance, a more mature Luke having a lightsaber with green shows that he'll be able to do what Anakin failed to do when he was in the same position when fighting against Dooku and also when he interrupts the battle between Windu and Palpatine. Also yeah, Luke is burning away the darkness with himself. Yep, you're 100% right on ROTJ helping Star Wars endure as long as it has. I found your channel because a friend recommended me your video on The Lighthouse, very great video btw! I watched a few more of your videos and ended up watching this one too and it's also great! I hope the fact that I've made such a long comment isn't annoying lol. Your kitty is very cute. Two more things, I have a 22k word long analysis of TPM where I go over the film scene by scene to show just how much Lucas thought it all out and I even debunked a lot of criticisms held against the film. It's available on my channel if you're interested! If you end up liking it, there's more because I'm close to finishing my analysis of AOTC and soon I'll have one for each of the Lucas era SW films. This video will help me somewhat with the ROTJ analysis! Now for the last thing, my ranking of the films. Keep in mind that the top 6 are all 10/10s for me and that I'd put them all as number 1 if I could. ROTS>AOTC>ANH>TPM>ESB>ROTJ>>>>>>>RO>TLJ>>>SOLO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TFA>TROS. Even though ROTJ is 6th here, it easily has the best ending lol. Thanks for reading my comment!

I can’t sit like that. Idk why. I have a slim body type so it’s not like I’m out of shape. My legs just don’t twist in that unnatural (to me) angle. What’s wrong with me?

Yup, Still my favorite of the original trilogy and only possible competition for that spot is Rogue One. I'm Glad Thought Slime mentioned this video in his.

4:07 So you didn’t read the masterpiece “Hearts of Three” by Jack London, huh?

The only thing phoned in was Harrison Ford's performance. He gave no fucks at that point. Haha

For Me, From Best to not as good. Return of the Jedi Revenge of the Sith Empire Strikes Back A New Hope Phantom Menace Attack of the Clones

Unpopular Star Wars Opinion: ROTJ is my favorite Star Wars movie to. I love ANH but it’s my least favorite of the OT. I love TESB and it’s my second favorite Star Wars movie but I find it to be a bit overrated. I love the romance between Han and Leia but it can get kinda boring at times and TESB can be a bit slow points. ROTJ is better paced then ANH and TESB. The lightsaber fight in ANH was lame. The lightsaber fight in TESB was awesome but it’s a little stiff. ROTJ has the best lightsaber fight not just in the OT but the entire franchise. It’s almost the most realistic in the franchise. Unlike the fights in ANH, TESB, the ST and the most of the PT fights it actually looks Luke and Darth Vader are actually fighting. Not stiff like the ANH, TESB or the ST fights and not over the top and ridiculous like most of the PT fights. I like Luke and Leia being brother and sister. I just can’t buy Mark Hamill and Carrie Fischer as siblings and I can’t but them as a couple. Mara Jade was a better match for Luke (Who I like more then Leia. Even though I still like Leia). I can totally buy Harrison Ford and Carrie Fischer as a couple. I like the Ewoks. Ewoks are like Honey Badgers, Wolverines, Tasmanian Devils and Baboons. If Honey Badgers, Wolverines and Baboons kill armed Human beings then Ewoks can kill Stormtroopers! Also having Wookies would be boring. And also having Ewoks defeat them is much more interesting then Wookies defeating them. Also an Wookies don’t stand a chance against the Empire and the Empire would be better prepared to defeat the Rebellion. Having the Empire underestimate the Ewoks fits into “Overconfidence being someone’s downfall. Also Velociraptors In Jurassic Park are small and they can kill armed humans. So what’s the problem here. I also like the idea of the second Death Star. I mean we rebuilt The World Trade Center after 9/11. Should we not have built The World Trade Center after 9/11. Also Boba Fett’s death was awesome. Deal with it. Also I love the tone. It has the lighthearted tone of ANH and the darkness of TESB and it balances them perfectly which not easy to do. Also Green lightsaber all the way. way.
