when it come to create a universe george lucas be the undisputed master and his final star war film be very and very good ( and more appropriately rat in comparison to the two previous film in the original saga ) . have recently see revenge of the sith really put this movie in perspective . the final battle seem even more climactic know what anakin skywalker go through at the manipulative hand of the emperor . it also make the final battle between luke and vader more bitter consider the love he felt for padmé and the love she felt for her child . actually while the new film ( especially episode ii ) be inferior to the original film they be good for one reason only . they make the old film seem even well . mark hamill do an exceptional job in this movie . he really bring the change luke have go through seem real . in all fairness i believe that he should have become a big actor base on these film because he really do a great job . harrison ford be still good . however and you can feel that he have do raider and blade runner in between the two final chapter of star war because he seem to have grow quite a bit . he add more comedy ( obviously inspire from raider ) to the character which work brilliantly . in short han solo be well than ever . carrie fisher be never really a good actress but she do a decent job and be certainly passable . ian mcdiarmid appear in this film and have see episode iii i can safely say that he be one of the most accomplished villain ever . james earl jones still provide the voice for vader and he be still very and very good . in term of how the movie look it pretty safe to say that the star war universe look good than in either of the previous ( two ) movie but this be always lucas forté so that be really to be expect . the final battle over endor be very well make both in term of the general effect and tension wise . it be also a nice touch that lucas decide to have three battle take place at the same time a it add to the overall tension of the climax . the only thing i feel be drag the movie down from an otherwise deserve 9 be the ewoks . these little creature be so annoy they almost ruin every scene they be in . besides i find it to be a little to kiddy when a group of teddy bear with bow and arrow can defeat a squadron of storm trooper with laser gun and mighty machinery . all in all return of the jedi be a very good movie but the fact that richard marquand be a less accomplished director than irvin kershner do that the overall feel of the movie be less than brilliant . also george lucas stupid decision to add the ewoks to the universe do that the film fall short of brilliance . positive .
