this film be to my mind the weak film in the original star war trilogy and for a variety of reason . however it emerge at the end of the day a winner and despite all it flaw . it still a very good film and even if a lot of it quality depend on the character that have be build up in the superior 2 installment . one problem here be the look of the film and which isn not very consistent with the other 2 film . i put a lot of that down to the departure of producer gary kurtz . the first 2 film have that dirty and live in look with all the technology and so forth . in jedi on the other hand even the rebel look like they just step out of a shower and have their uniform dry clean . this make for a much less textured film . also the creature be excessively muppet like and cutesy . at this point it seem like the film maker be more concerned with create the template for future action figure than with the quality of the film itself . another aspect be it lack of originality . where star war create a whole new experience in cinema and empire bring u to alien world of swamp and ice and and cloud and jedi lamely re cycle the location of the first film . first we be back on the desert planet tatooine and and then we be watch them face another death star ( maybe the emperor couldn not think of anything new . but you would think lucas or kasdan could ) . also we have these ewoks and who really be just detestable make for mattel teddy bear and in a recycled version of what be suppose to be the big wookie fight at the end of star war if they hadn not run out of cash . it just feel like lazy construction . the most unfortunate aspect of jedi for me be the weak handling of the han solo character . whereas he be central to the plot of the first 2 film here he be struggle for screen time and trading one liners with the droids . instead of a real drama be stick with the lame pretense that han be still convinced leia love luke a if the conclusion of empire where she confess her love of him have never happen . the whole thing be very contrived and barely conceals the fact that the solo character be not part of this film central story after his rescue . ford and for his part and look bore and lack the style that distinguish his early performance . this be more like a 1990s ford performance and bore and look above the film itself . fisher for her part be visibly high in some scene . lando and an interesting character introduce in empire and here be stick a the ostensible person we care about in the giant space battle . only hamill and give an interesting development in the luke character and be really able to do anything new or interesting with his character . probably he be the only major actor in the film who still care about his work . and to be fair the script give him a lot more to do than the other character . really it be his story and the other character be only there a part of the package . ian mcdiarmid do excellent work as well a the emperor . the film would sink if he have be too far over the top ( a he be at time in the new film ) . visually and in term of effect work and other than the clean look of everything it hard to find fault . jabba be a very effective animatronic character and one of the most elaborate ever construct . the space battle towards the end be very impressive . ultimately this film coast to success base on the accomplishment of it forebear . but on it own and it be a satisfy piece of entertainment and imho far superior to any of lucas late production .
