Star Wars Six - Return of the Jedi



Early signs of the rot that would eventually set into the Star Wars saga, not least of all the Ewok factor, but most importantly, that the "family" saga wasn't planned from the start, contrary to what Lucas would have us believe. The special edition is untouched for the most part, save for the scenes in Jabbas' Palace, hideously disrupting the flow of perhaps the best parts of the film. "Jedi" has its' flaws, particularly when it comes to being coherent with the rest of the story, but it's a very driven film with a singular purpose. I love it. Marvelous stuff, please don't make any more.
