For most of us hardcore Star Wars<\/em> fanatics,\u00a0it’s quite easy\u00a0to\u00a0remember just what it was that made us fall in love with that galaxy far, far away.\u00a0 For me, it was Super Return of the Jedi<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Whenever people ask the question of “what’s your favourite Star Wars<\/em> movie”, I’m always quick to answer Episode VI<\/em>.\u00a0 For some reason, that never goes over very well!\u00a0 I’m not sure why, either.\u00a0 I mean, sure, the Empire’s ground forces were taken out by a bunch of teddy bears…\u00a0 keep in mind, however, that the kind of music played in\u00a0A New Hope<\/em>‘s\u00a0Cantina scene is called “jizz”.<\/p>\n

For serious<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Try not to take your Star Wars<\/em> too seriously, folks.\u00a0 I love it too, but\u00a0they’re just\u00a0movies, meant to entertain.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Return of the Jedi<\/em> just wraps all the storylines up into a nice little package, and ends it in a way that always gives me goosebumps whenever I watch it.\u00a0 The Emperor is creepy as hell and played to perfection by Ian McDiarmid.\u00a0\u00a0The emotionally charged duel between Luke and Darth Vader is more interesting than the one in Empire, just because Vader’s not just “some bad guy” throughout most of the fight –\u00a0Luke KNOWS he’s his father this time around, and comes dangerously close to falling to the dark side.<\/p>\n

John Williams’ score\u00a0for Jedi<\/em> is easily the best of all six movies.\u00a0 From the Battle of Endor music (“Into the Trap” is possibly my favourite music of the entire saga) to the low, haunting Emperor theme, I friggin’ love it.\u00a0 Even the Special Edition’s ending music gives me chills, just listening to it!<\/p>\n

In the end, though, the reason I like RotJ<\/em> the most is simply because Super Return of the Jedi<\/em> was the game that made me say “I’m over my paranoia about space and Jupiter now, so I\u00a0should probably watch those movies!”<\/p>\n
