RateItAll: The Opinion Network

I was tempted to give this a 2, but I found it to be okay purely on nostalgic merits; by the time it was released, you had so much invested in the characters you wanted to see how it all would end. It ended, all right.....with a solid *thud* in most places. Where to begin? Jabba's lair, for starters: easy to find, simple to infiltrate, and poorly guarded (fine qualities for the hideout of a feared criminal mastermind, eh?); Luke goes all the way to Dagobah to find out Yoda's had it (couldn't this have been better handled via astral projection, a la Kenobi?); Leia wasn't strong enough with the Force to figure out she was tonsil-boxing (and whatever else) with her brother in the first two movies (Luke never picked up on it, either); General Solo's sabotage team runs about twenty yards away after planting the explosives to take out the Endor shield generator (but the next scene shows nearly three square miles being obliterated; makes you think they didn't get quite far enough away!); and Chewbacca's Tarzan yodel on the vine headed towards the mini-walker nearly made me walk out of the movie theater. Has only two redeeming features: Leia's slave-girl duds (mmmmmmmm.....chain mail.....), and the flight into and out of the Death Star's superstructure. An otherwise pedestrian ending to what was (and still is) a decent li'l series.
