The last of George Lucas' Star Wars trilogy is also the most unsatisfying, though its individual moments are among the best in the series. As we knew he would, Han Solo (Harrison Ford) emerges hale and hearty from the carbonite casing in which he'd been sealed in The Empire Strikes Back. The bad news is that Solo, together with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hammill) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), are all prisoner of the gross, grotesque Jabba the Hut. With the help of the enigmatic Landro Calrissian, our heroes and our heroine (the later revealing garbed in a harem costume, pant! pant!) manage to escape. The next task is to rid the galaxy of Darth Vader (body by David Prowse, voice by James Earl Jones), now in command of an indestructable Death Star vehicle. Commisserating with his spiritual advisor Yoda, Luke discovers that Leia is his own twin sister-thus she, like Luke, has the potential to become a Jedi knight, and to subsequently do battle with the insidious Empire on an up-close-and-personal level. On the planet Endor, the Good Guys enlist the age of a feisty bunch of troll-like creatures called the Ewoks in their battle against Vader's forces. So dazzling are the film's special effects (which deservedly won an Oscar) that we're willing to overlook the lack of characterization and logic-not to mention the abrupt ending--in this final Star Wars entry. For our money, the film's best scene is the pantomimed retelling of the SW saga by erudite robot C3PO. A record-breaking moneyspinner, Return of the Jedi spawned an animated TV series and an endless stream of tie-in merchandising.
