Well, I haven't seen this movie in a long time, but from what I remember, I'll give it a 10/10. I liked the battle on Endor, and I also enjoyed watching the Ewoks. The end of the movie was great, with fights between Luke (who got payback against his dad) and finally the Emperor of the galaxy, Palpatine. This movie was worth seeing, and anyone who has not seen the original Star Wars has to see this one.

This movie is mostly made up of fighting, which is definitely better for the younger crowd, considering it's not gory or anything. First, there are battles at Jabba the Hutt's Palace; followed by a trip to dying Yoda's old hut; which then cuts to the attack on the uncompleted second Death Star, accompanied by the attack on Endor. There are also the final confrontations between Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and his father, Darth Vader (performed by David Prowse and voiced by James Earl Jones). In this movie, the evil Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) is introduced once more (we haven't seen him in person since Episode III) with his freaky electric fingers. That was scary to me as a little kid, but now it's not too bad. There is definitely more fighting than talking, which might be seen as either mindless violence (which it basically is), or a big finale to a great series. So, yeah, in the beginning, Luke must go to save Han Solo (Harrison Ford) after he was frozen in carbonite in Episode V, before he can complete his training with Yoda (voiced by Frank Oz). Before he passes on of old age, Yoda tells Luke that his training will be complete when he defeats Darth Vader, something that Luke can't find it in himself to do, seeing as Vader was once Anakin, his father. While Luke faces this internal dilemmna, the Rebels gain intelligence about the construction of a new, more powerful Death Star like the the one they destroyed in Episode IV. Immediately, they organize an all-out strike force, involving sending a small group headed by Han Solo, Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), Leia (Carrie Fisher), C-3PO (Anthony Daniels), and R2-D2 (Kenny Baker) to the forest planet Endor, where they run into many strange creatures. Of these, we meet the primitive Ewoks, a species of little fuzzy...bears... that generate many laughs with their antics. Will the Ewoks help the Rebels, or serve them for lunch? More importantly, will the Rebels be able to defeat the Empire once and for all? Will Luke be the spark that rekindles the flame of the Jedi? I would probably buy this movie; it's plot is lacking, but the action we all love is stronger than ever.
