I saw Jedi at the cinema on its release and thought it was the best film i’d ever seen at the time. The jabba’s palace,rancor scene was epic at that time and the vader,Luke and emperor moment was immense. How people can say this is below any of the newer films is beyond me. It is part of the OT and still the third best of the lot. Lastly the figures sold were amongst the most collectable at the time.
I’ll just leave this here, probably one of the best scenes in the entire trilogy.
Great thoughts on ROTJ, & of course, an amazing scene. Though, I have to wonder, if Luke didn’t chop off Vader’s mechano hand, would he have still been able to function “normally”? Immediately after Vader’s hand is lopped off, he starts to breath heavily. It’s quite possible the mechanism tied to his breathing apparatus was now compromised. Also, the Emperor’s Force Lightning didn’t help.
Anyways, here’s a nice scene with a great group of people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBrLHMCTDAA
