In the final episode of the Star Wars saga, Han Solo (Harrison Ford) emerges intact from the carbonite casing in which he'd been sealed in The Empire Strikes Back. The bad news is that Solo, together with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), is prisoner to the grotesque Jabba the Hutt. But with the help of the charismatic Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams), our heroes and our heroine manage to escape. The next task is to rid the galaxy of Darth Vader (body by David Prowse, voice by James Earl Jones) and the Emperor (Ian McDiarmid), now in command of a new, under-construction Death Star. On the forest moon Endor, the good guys enlist the help of a feisty bunch of bear-like creatures called the Ewoks in their battle against the Empire. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi are one of the best trilogies ever made.

    This completes the Star Wars saga, though at a slower pace than previous films. It closes the story of Anakin after his revelation as Luke's father in Episode V. The dialogue is noticeably a choppy. The Ewok battle seems geared to younger viewers. The duel between father and son seems to be a continuation of the one Episode V and the Emperor's commentary throughout made the saga's finale a tad anti-climactic. The script could have been beefed up. However, the space battle outside the Death Star help to make it enjoyable. Make sure you watch the 1997 version which has better special effects than the original without changing the story.
