As long as I can remember, my friends and acquaintances have sat around and debated: Which of the three (excluding the three most recent Star Wars movies) is your favorite? To this day, everyone I've ever known and had this debate with has said their favorite would be "Empire Strikes Back", hands down. They love how Luke gets his arm cut off, they love Boba Fett, they love Lando Calrissian, they love how it all ends on a downer. At least, I think they love how it all ends on a downer. Not me. Me? My favorite is "Return of the Jedi". Why, you ask? I love it, that's why. Here's a short list: * I love Jabba the Hut. He cracks me up. * Leia in the metal bikini. Even for girls, that's hot. * The monster thing under Jabba. Damn, I do know his name, I do. Or I did...Anyway, the one that Luke fights when he pisses off Jabba and falls in the hole. I also love the S&M dude, the monster's caretaker. It cracks me up when he cries over the dead monster. (Looked it up on wikipedia. He's a Rancor. I knew it!) * I LOVE that Harrison Ford isn't in the...stuff...and frozen...anymore. Even if it's Leia, and as I got older and my crush shifted from Luke to Han, I still wanted him to be saved. (Looked this one up too. It's carbonite. Man, it's been a long time since I've seen this movie.) * The Sand Monster. Mitch tells me he's "The Sarlacc, which resides in the Great Pit of Carcoon" or however it's spelled. I don't know. He's the one that's got the big teeth, and he burps when people fall in his mouth. That always made me smile as a kid. (Looked this one up as well. Mitch is right! But it's Carkoon. Whatevs.) * Hmm...what else. Oh yeah. They're already right in the middle of the action when this movie starts. No bullsh*t, no wasting time, just a lot of fighting. I love it. * The Ewoks. Yeah, I said it. I love the Ewoks. They're just so f*cking cute. How can you not love them? When I was a kid, I'd always keep my eyes peeled for this one part where they show an Ewok baby. If I remember correctly, it's when Luke makes C3PO fly to prove that he's a god, and the baby opens his eyes really wide and ducks down to hide. I think that's the right part. I love the little songs they sing, too. * I love the fight on the Speeders. Is that what they're called? You know, the race/fight through the forest? That's cool. (Yep, that's what they're called. Score!) * I love the ATAT's. Did I get that one right? The big metal things that tromp through the forest. My favorite part is when the Ewoks trip it. (Damn, I didn't get that right. The AT-AT's are the ones in Empire. The ones in Return of the Jedi are AT-ST's. Hey, I was close.) * I love the final fight between Luke and Vader, and when Vader finally takes off his helmet. giggle giggle He's fugly. * I love the Emporer. He's a badass. *I love the ending. The little party on Endor, the music, everyone comes back in ghost form to smile approvingly. Ah, so happy. email this review to a friend
