Who would love this

♥Fans of the original Star Wars trilogy, those who appreciate classic adventure and space opera, and viewers who enjoy stories centered on redemption and hope would likely love "Return of the Jedi."

Who might not

What critics are saying about Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi

At its core, Return of the Jedi represented a conscious retreat from the complexities and ambiguities of The Empire Strikes Back to the moral simplicity of the original Star Wars.Return of the Jedi treats this as a moment of triumph. The characters celebrate with the Ewoks on the forest moon of Endor as fireworks light up the sky. In the remastered editions of the film, celebrations are also seen on Tatooine, Coruscant, and Naboo.

The Rise of Skywalker Can Correct Return of the Jedi's Failings

Obviously, when I got started on Jedi the first thing I wanted to do was to get very close together with the production designer, Norman Reynolds, to see what they had in mind in the way of sets, locations, etc. So far as style was concerned, I already had a pretty good idea of the type of 'look' that was required for this picture, (having seen the first and second Star Wars pictures) and having found out from the director, Richard Marquand, that George Lucas (the producer) had quite definite ideas himself of how he wanted things to look.
