Synopsis:

Lightsabers hum and sparkle, the Millennium Falcon flashes through hyperspace in the blink of an eye, and creatures from the ends of the galaxy prepare for battle against the oppressive Imperial Forces, in this stunning third chapter of the space saga that has become the most popular trilogy ever filmed.

As the Rebel leaders map their strategy for an all-out attack on the Emperor’s newer, bigger, and dreaded Death Star, Han Solo remains frozen and imprisoned in the cavernous desert fortress of Jabba the Hutt, the most loathsome outlaw in the universe, who is also keeping Princess Leia as a slave girl. Now a master of The Force, Luke Skywalker rescues his friends, but he cannot become a true Jedi Knight until he wages his own crucial battle against Darth Vader who has sworn to win Luke over to the Dark Side of The Force.

With old favorites like Chewbacca, Yoda, R2D2, C3PO, and Lando Calrissian, plus the furry, friendly, fierce Ewoks, and the most ingenious spectacular special effects yet, Return Of The Jedi, is the greatest Star Wars adventure of them all.
