I know. Jedi is, for the most part, a $h!t movie.
The rescue "plan" at Jabba's Palace makes no sense.
Luke being almost a fully trained jedi, but he didn't go back to Dagoba to train with Yoda makes no sense.
Luke and Leia being brother and sister is nasty creepy and gross, unless (like George) you find incestual relationships fascinating.
Having yet another Death Star and having it blow up by using almost the exact same method as was used in the original (Fly into it fire some lasers and escape) is $h!t writing.
Having Luke simply surrender himself to the Empire was lame.
Having the rebellion simply walk into the shield generator with no resistance was dumb (and yes, I have seen the deleted footage of the battle inside the shield generator. It's so bad that it had to be cut).
Ewoks- do I have to elaborate?
Don't get me started on the 1997 special edition changes- UGH!
There are however, two good things about this film.
The space battle does look REALLY good. To date it's still the best-looking space battle that I have ever seen.
Vader reading Luke's mind and saying "If you won't turn to the dark side then your sister will" was good writing. Too bad Luke's sister was his incestual love interest! F'n creepy George.
I don't mean to come down so hard on George, but it just goes to show you how creepy, perverted and weird the people in Hollywood are!
Jedi is a $h!t movie. If it hadn't come out when it did it would be way more reviled than it is.
You were one of the smart ones.
Return of the Jedi is just about as bad as the other 6 that came out after it.
That's coming. Students from Columbia University are probably working on it as we speak.
RTM is run by corporate shills. It is meaningless now.
That's modern Disney story telling 101.
No. They kissed in Star Wars and made out in Empire. If you've seen the movies you know. George is a weird guy...
I give you credit.
This is how I view Star Wars
Star Wars Episode IV
Empire Strikes Back
That's it!
Jedi is not connected to the first two due to the HUGE retconning of Leia being Luke's sister. I guess George (ood ball that he is) is REALLY into incest...
In another universe I look at Jedi as a tie-in to the original Bantam Spectra extended universe novels. Some of them were really good. So, I'll give Jedi that. It gave us some good novels that (also) eventually turned into $h!t.
Nah, he's just an out of touch hollyweird person.
It was supposed to have the same resonance as Odysseus returning and seeing Argos after ten years but whereas to read that is heartbreaking, the bad acting. bad dialog, and bad story in this pile of steaming $h!t makes Shimi's death cringe worthy.
It was dumb that he left her in the first place. No ten-year-old kid would leave his mom as a slave to go flying spaceships across the universe! Qui Gon couldn't get her set free?! Princess Amidala (with her millions and millions of space bucks) couldn't get her set free?! Then (and this really burns my a$$) when he (Anakin)learns how to fly said space ships and grows up flying said space ships- IT TAKES HIM TEN YEARS TO GO BACK TO GET HER?!
$h!tty writing is $h!tty writing! I still can't understand how ANYONE, at his point can defend anything about these $h!tty movies.
I teach elementary school. Do you have any idea of just how deep the attachment that ALL ten-year-olds have to their mom is?! Obviously, a schmuck like George Lucas has no concept of that attachment!
During the making of the original Star Wars film and The Empire Strikes Back, George had both Gary Kurtz and his first wife Marsha to control him and reign in his stupidity. They were both gone by the time Jedi was made, and it shows. George never did anything worth a damn ever again. Yeah, his crap made money, but none of it was any good!
This post needs an award for the most brilliant post in the short but illustrious history of Movie chat!
