Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi's reviews
Media reviews
Empire
The special effects are the best of the original trilogy and ironically benefits the most from Lucas' latterday overhaul. Probably the weakest in the original trilogy, but still a worthy finale to an epoch defining franchise.
The Hollywood Reporter
There's a kind of desperation about it, a feeling that Lucas and co-writer Lawrence Kasdan are simply trying to figure out what they can do next to amuse the kiddies.
Variety
George Lucas and Co. have perfected the technical magic to a point where almost anything and everything, no matter how bizarre, is believable. The bad news is the human dramatic dimensions have been sorely sacrificed.
New York Times
All of the members of the old ''Star Wars'' gang are back doing what they've done before, but this time with a certain evident boredom
The Telegraph
While a certain amount of drama is found in these revealing scenes, it is somewhat dissipated in the romantic relations between Leia and Solo. The dialogue given to the lovers is laughable, and their performances match it.
