i think that rotj be clearly the best out of the three star war movie . i find it surprising that rotj be consider the weak installment in the trilogy by many who have vote . to me it seem like rotj be the best because it have the most profound plot and the most suspense and surprise and most emotional and ( especially the end ) and definitely the most episodic movie . i personally like the empire strike back a lot also but i think it be slightly less good than than rotj since it be slow moving and be not a episodic and and i just do not feel as much suspense or emotion a i do with the third movie . it also seem like to me that after read these surprising review that the reason people cite for rotj be an inferior film to the other two be just plain ludicrous and be insignificant reason compare to the sheer excellence of the film a a whole . i have hear many strange reason such a represent a ) because yoda die b ) because bobba fett die c ) because small ewoks defeat a band of stormtroopers d ) because darth vader be revealedi would like to debunk each of these reason because i believe that they miss the point completely . first off and who care if bobba fett die . if george lucas want him to die then he want him to die . don not get me wrong i be fan of bobba fett but he make a few cameo appearance and it be not lucas intention to make him a central character in the film that star war fan make him out to be . his name be not even mention anywhere in the movie . you have to go to the credit to find out bobba fett name . judging rotj because a minor character die be a bit much i think . secondly and many fan do not like yoda die . sure and it be a momentous period in the movie . i be not happy to see him die either but it make the movie more realistic . all the good guy can not stay alive in a realistic movie and you know . otherwise if all the good guy live and all the bad guy die this movie would have be tantamount to a cheesy saturday morning cartoon . another aspect to this point about people not like yoda death . well and nobody complain when darth vader strike down obi wan kenobi in a new hope . ( many consider a new hope to be the best of the trilogy ) why be obi wan death okay but yoda not . hmmmmmmmmmmmm . another reason i just can not believe be even state be because people find cute ewoks overpower stormtroopers to be impossible . that be utterly ridiculous . i can not believe this one . first off and the ewoks be in their native planet endor so they be cognizant of their home terrain since they live there . if you watch the movie carefully many of the tactic the ewoks use in defeat the stormtroopers be through excellent use of their home field advantage . ( since you live in the forest all your life i hope you would have learn to use it to your advantage ) they have swing vine and rope and log set up to trip those walker and and other trap . the stormtroopers be highly disadvantage because they be outnumber and not aware of the advantage of the forest . the only thing they have be their blaster . to add and it be not like the ewoks be battle the stormtroopers themselves and they be heavily assist by the band of rebel in that conquest . i think that if the stormtroopers be to have defeat a combination of the star war hero and the band of rebel and as well a the huge clan of ewoks with great familiarity of their home terrain and that would have be a great upset . lastly and if this scene be still unbelievable to you . how about in empire strike back or in a new hope where there be several scene of a group consist of just han solo and chewbacca and and the princess and be shoot at by like ten stormtroopers and all their blaster miss while the hero be in full view . and not only that and the hero and of course and always hit the stormtroopers with their blaster . the trooper must have very and very bad aim then . at least in empire strike back and the battle of endor be much more believable since you have two army pit each other not 3 hero against a legion of stormtroopers . don not believe me . check out the battle at cloud city when our hero be escape lando base . or when our hero be rescue princess leia and be shoot at ( somehow they miss ) a han solo and luke be try to exit the death star . the last reason that i care to discuss ( others be just too plain ridiculous for me to spend my time here . ) be that people do not like darth vader be reveal . well and in many way that be a major part of the plot in the movie . luke be try to find whether or not darth vader be his father and annakin skywalker . it would have be disappoint if the movie have end without luke get to see his father face because it make it complete . by annakin revelation it symbolize the transition darth vader underwent from be possess by the dark side ( in his helmet ) and to the good person he be annakin skywalker ( by remove the helmet ) . the point be that annakin die convert to the light side again and that be what the meaning of the helmet removal scene be about . in fact and that be what i would have do in that scene too if i be luke father . isn not that what you would have do if you want to see your son with your own eye before you die and not in a mechanized helmet . on another note and i think a subconscious or conscious expectation among most people be that the sequel must be bad ( even if it be well ) that precede movie be another reason that rotj do not get a many accolade a it deserve . i never go into a film with that deception in mind and i always try to go into a film with the attitude that well and it might be good or bad that the original . but i can not know for sure . let see . that way i go with an open mind and do not dupe myself into think that a clearly superior film be not as good a it really be . i be not sure who criticize these movie but and i have ask many college student and adult about which be their favorite star war movie and they all tell me ( except for one person that say that a new hope be their favorite ) that it be rotj . i believe that the result on these poll be appal and quite misleading . bottom line and the return of the jedi be the best of the trilogy . this movie be the only one of the three that keep me rivet all throughout it 135 minute . there be not a moment of boredom because each scene be either suspenseful and exciting and surprising and or all of the above . for example and the emotional light saber battle between luke and his father in rotj be good than the one in the empire strike back any day . finally and i hope people go see the phantom menace with an open mind because if fan start look for nitpicky and insignificant detail ( or see it as just another sequel ) to trash the movie such a this movie stink because luke be not in it . then this meritorious film will become another spectacular movie that will be the subject of derision like rotj suffer unfortunately .
