As the original trilogy closer turns 40, 'Return of the Jedi' can still hold its own against almost everything that followed.
The action set-pieces also rank among the best in"Star Wars" history. The whole Jabba sequence is the ideal palate cleanser before the story returns to the hurly-burly of the Galactic Civil War, but the pivotal fight above the Sarlacc is the notable standout. A spectacularly chaotic scrap, it harks back to the adventure serials that inspired"Star Wars" in the first place. It's still a shame what happened to Boba Fett, though.
In fact,"Return of the Jedi" always looked so good that there wasn’t much Lucas could improve when he gave the film a digital makeover for 1997's Special Edition and the 2004 DVD release. Compared to"A New Hope"'s augmented X-wings and"Empire"'s subtle cosmetic touch-ups, the new song-and-dance number and the surprise cameo for the prequel model Anakin Skywalker, Hayden Christensen, felt like change for change's sake.
Subsequent 'saber battles may have been faster and more intricate, but few can compete with the emotional stakes of this battle for the souls of two generations of Skywalker.
