Seriously though, Im not sure how to feel about this movie.
 
It has some really intense, really good, and very well done moments. The final showdown between Luke and Darth Vader is really gripping, and the following execution of the Emperor at the hands of his own lackey. The Speeder Bike chase is incredible. I have never seen something like that before, its so creative. And the raid on the Death Star and the battle before it is just as thrilling as always, if not more, since the special effects have improved quite a lot since the first movie.
 
However, it does have a few other things that kind of make me scratch my head. The Eewoks. Yeah, alright, I feel like Im beating a dead horse here, but I dont like them. They are cute, Ill give them that. Also that overly long introduction scene in Jabbas Palace. It had a good ending but it went on forever. By the end of it I was so sick of the color yellow and the stupid sand. I am never going to a desert for the rest of my life. Also the tone is surprisingly comedic. I dont know if this is meant to compensate for how dark Empire Strikes Back was, but theres contrast and thereswhatever this movie is doing.
 
Dont get me wrong, I definitely dont hate it but I dont think its on the same level of the previous two. Then again, I dont think that takes away from the enjoyment, of course. This is Star Wars, a movie series thats solid and that cant possibly do no wrong.
 
And now, if you excuse me, I have to pledge allegiance to the dark side of reviewing. I guess theyll make me open up a YouTube channel.
