Star Wars: Return of the Jedi | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Even after 40 years, Return of the Jedi remains the most flat-out entertaining Star Wars movie of the bunch.

Sorry Empire stans, but nothing the saga has presented thus far comes anywhere close to the emotional trauma unfolding here. Hauntingly scored by John Williams, who almost equals the impact of his seminal Imperial March, it’s goosebump-inducing.

Without fail “Return of the Jedi” ignites a near childlike enthusiasm inside of me every time I watch it.

Given how well Return of the Jedi was put together from a technical perspective, and how entertaining the whole thing ends up being, it's difficult not to enjoy the film on very basic levels, but it stands as the original trilogy's odd man out.
