Let's Actually Watch the Movie: Return of the Jedi

[B]

I forgot about this. Was it actually in theaters?

[E.H. Ruddock]

Yes, the theaters here were sold out.

[Coach]

Cool.

Although there is a comment in that twitter feed that reads: "No Palpatine on the poster? He is the one who is victorious"


Ugh. We're gonna start seeing that crap now? Worst thing that could happen was bringing him back for a sh*t surprise in Episode IX, along with him being Rey's grandpa.

Palps should run against Trump and Biden as a third party candidate. He's a survivor.

Han's whole Endor team is decked out in camo while they're dragging a bright golden beacon of a droid everywhere they go.

I hate to be this guy, but RotJ is so fucking stupid. I mean, I like the movie, bit it doesn't stand up to even the most basic scrutiny.

Don't be that guy! These movies are all pretty stupid.

Stormtrooper armor is so shitty that when Leia shoots one, the Stormtrooper next to him dies too.

At least the plot is more coherent than The Rise of Skywalker.

Man, I've waited for so long for someone else in this board to say.

I mean, it literally isn't. But you do you.

ROTJ is the best at mood/atmosphere of all the films.
Opening with the empire and Vader, Jabbas palace, Endor, Luke being taken to the emperor

It has all the whizz pop bang ‘star wars’ stuff too but it works best when it’s dropping you into a vibe and it gives you time to catch up and take it in. Leia releasing Han, beautiful set up. R2 and threepio going to jabbas palace, beautiful setup up. Vader and Luke’s conversation on Endor before they go up, Wicket meeting Leia and making friends and saving her from the scout troopers, beautiful set up and so on.

Paced properly and written that way rather than some of the more haphazard leaving it to the editing to sort it / save it we see elsewhere.

The plot is definitely more coherent than TROS though, In that there is one.

I think ROTJ is my most-watched movie of all time. There was a year sometime in the early 90s where I'd watch the VHS every night for 1-2 week stretches. Comfort food.

For sure.

It might not be all time most watched film anymore but it's certainly my most watched Star War, still.
