Poll: Do you like Return of the Jedi

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

Yes I do. Admittedly, I'm the kind of Star Wars fan that likes all of the films in some way, but I like Return of the Jedi quite a lot. The Ewoks don't annoy me, it offers a great resolution to the saga and its still fun to watch.

 

[philcelery]

It's my favorite of the series and it has both the best Space Battle and best LightSaber Duel of the series.

 

[Anarchemitis]

The Ewoks pushed my inclinations veeerrrrry far, but I like it. but again, due to the Ewoks, not by much.

 

[repeating integers]

I have never watched it.

..

What? I'm 15. That movie is twelve years older than me. My childhood movie was Batman Begins

Mate, so am I. I've watched every single star wars movie way more times than I can count. You have no excuse, hehehe.

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

No, the Empire lost. Also, the Ewoks beat the Imperial Army with sticks and twigs, the ending made no sense, and Leia reminds me too much of my mom to find her attractive in a bikini. Also, Ewoks. Although the confrontation between Luke, Vader -his redemption- and the Emperor were all cool.

 

[Geekosaurus]

I don't like the options in the poll. It's the weakest of the original trilogy but it has its moments: the hilarious Emperor dialogue and the line.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Yes, mainly because of the space battle.

I was very happy that someone pieced the scenes together to make this video:



Screw the force, I wanted more space battles!

Holy Fishsticks, you just made my night! I was so looking forward to seeing what they could do with new tech in the prequels, and soooo disappointed when all I got was Anakin and Obi talking in their cockpits.

Return of the Jedi is the best Star Wars movie. It has all three spices. Ground battle, space battle, lightsaber battle, all going on at the same time. Winner.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

No, the Empire lost. Also, the Ewoks beat the Imperial Army with sticks and twigs, the ending made no sense, and Leia reminds me too much of my mom to find her attractive in a bikini. Also, Ewoks. Although the confrontation between Luke, Vader -his redemption- and the Emperor were all cool.

If it makes you feel better, the Empire remained a threat for several years later, still hunting down rebels and such, and they are still around 130 years after Yavin, back in control of the galaxy. Well, a splinter section of the Empire is back in control. The other splinter is working with the Jedi and the remains of the Republic to restore order, but I digress...

Not may favourite Star Wars film though, that spot belongs to The Phantom Menace!

wat.

I can see how it would be someone's favorite. To me, it's decent until the Darth Maul fight on Naboo. That fight is a game-changer, it kicks so much ass. Plus the music during it was great.

Aside from that, I thought the underwater section had some cool visuals and the pod race was interesting. And the Qui-Gon and Kenobi pairing worked well.

The big things going against it for me: Jar Jar and midichlorians. Those aren't enough to wreck the movie.

My only problem with episode I is anakin blowing up the trade federation ship. If he had been 14 not 9 I wouldve ranked the movie above ROTJ

I really dont have too too much of a problem with Jar Jar, he could be toned down, but he is a minor annoyance when compared to a lot of really good things in the movie

Jedi on the other hand Had an awesome set up, and killed it.

I mean, Jar Jar is WAY better than Sy Snootles. WHo granted barely did anything in the theatrical version due to technical limitations, but I never was able to see the non special edition of that installment (or at least I dont remember it, I know I saw the non special edition for 4 and 5)

 

[Chibz]

Of course. It has Admiral Ackbar.

I'm gonna go ahead and say it, I love the Ewoks. The only thing that bugs me about the movie is the uneventful death of Boba Fett. It just comes and goes and he's dead and digested. Well, until someone wrote him out of that in one of the Expanded Universe novels. But I tend to think of the movies and books as not really the same stories, so Movie Boba is dead and book Boba lives.

The unfinished Death Star also looks freaking badass. I used to be upset about when they show Darth Vader's face. I thought, "What the hell? He's just a pruny old man with a pitiful voice". Now I see that scene and it shows his vulnerability under the aura of his armor.

I actually love all the Star Wars movies. I'm not one to let little things like Jar Jar ruin everything for me. I love the originals more, but the prequels are still good.

The EU is canonical. Except if it disagrees with a film. So, Fett isn't dead.

I could list everything wrong with the prequel trilogy, but I don't have that kinda spare time.

 

[ShezUK]

Old Star Wars were fantastic, all of them.

 

[TheSapphireKnight]

Aside from Ewoks, it is probably my favorite of the original trilogy.

 

[Astoria]

It's my favourite of the originals and only just second overall to episode 3. People hate the ewoks? This is definitely news to me.

 

[Crapster]

It's a pretty great movie, but the Ewoks are an extremely fatal flaw. It had a lot to live up to, following the Empire Strikes Back, though. Those are expectations that no one can possibly satisfy...
