Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (Limited Edition)

I decided to rent Return of the Jedi. I saw the movie years ago. Seeing it again on prime was outstanding! I enjoyed it as much as the first time I saw the movie in the theater. Can’t go wrong with this movie. The visuals were amazing!

A Classic. I bought it when it went on sale. I’m glad I waited.

Orphan gets trained by a Muppet to kill his father, can't do it, ends up saving him, father dies anyway saving his whiny son.

Since Amazon has carelessly mixed all reviews of all editions of the Star Wars Trilogy (Ep. IV, V, VI), confusing many buyers and causing many to pick the wrong Editions as a result, let me start by stating which DVD's and which editions I bought -I got all three originals of the first true trilogy - Episodes IV, V, VI, all separate in their own cases and each with 2 DVDs inside.DVD Edition, Enhanced AND Theatrical Editions (2 discs per movie), Full Screen Edition (Also available in widescreen)*Just a note about the Full Screen edition: The "Enhanced" remake version of each movie is indeed in Full Screen but the Original Unaltered/Theatrical Editions on disc 2 (for all 3 movies) is in letterbox only. I had no problem with it, it did not detract or distract while watching and the letterbox aspect ratio has barely more black than the regular modern day Widescreen...So, don't worry about that if you're thinking of getting this. I was so glad to find the REAL movie versions that I would have taken any letterbox size!Disc 1 - "Enhanced" version (re-release with added scenes & changed musical scenes in Mos Eisley, Jabba's Palace, End celebration sequence on Return Of The Jedi, etc...)Disc 2 with the original unaltered "Theatrical" version, which is the original as aired in movie theaters in 1977-1983.It was so great to FINALLY find the edition of the original trilogy with the option of watching it the proper way without all the added CGI animation and re-done music scenes. I agree with another reviewer here that I, too, absolutely DESPISE the re-make of the musical band scene in Jabba's Palace (Return Of The Jedi). The female singer originally was a puppet and there were men under the floor making her "dance" by moving a steel frame and puppet strings. The CGI cheapens the entire scene and the music itself is both awful and extremely aggravating. I remembered the original song ever since I first saw the movies on VHS when I was growing up. What a throwback experience.The packaging is nice. The front and back covers of the case have the original artwork from the first VHS releases of the films from back in the late 70's/early 80's. There are bonus features included but I don't really care about that stuff; I bought this strictly to have the original unaltered films on demand. The paper inside just has artwork, a chapter/scene list, and a quick description of what commentary & features are included on the discs in addition to the films themselves. Nothing extra on the little paper itself, everything is on the discs. Lucas is a sell-out giving this franchise to Disney; what a mistake. I don't care to watch any of his commentary. There is also a demo of a ridiculous Lego Star Wars game for XBox which I will also never use on my XBox.These editions were released in September of 2006 and I believe this is the only time they released the originals on DVD so I am glad and lucky to have found them. At approximately $30 apiece, I feel it was a steal to get such a rare hard-to-find edition at such a great price-under $100 for all three films, and two versions each at that.I highly recommend this particular edition to all Star Wars fans who want the true original experience. For me personally I feel it was best as it was originally shown, with all the physical puppets, original music scenes, and no CGI.

love this movie

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, written by Larry Kasdan and George Lucas and directed by the late Richard Marquand, closes the Classic Trilogy that chronicles the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia during the Galactic Civil War, which pit the Heroes of the Rebellion against Emperor Palpatine and his evil minion, Darth Vader. Although many fans consider Jedi to be weaker than The Empire Strikes Back, it is still a fitting conclusion to the beloved film series.Even though Return of the Jedi was released 16 years before Episode I: The Phantom Menace, George Lucas intended it to be part of a six-film cycle, very much as J.R.R. Tolkien intended each volume of his Lord of the Rings "trilogy" to be part of one single novel. It clearly ties up all the events from both Prequel and Classic Trilogies, leaving it to authorized novelists to continue the Star Wars story in the Expanded Universe books and graphic novels.As the film opens, it is a dark time for the Rebellion. Imperial forces under the command of Jedi-turned-Sith Lord Darth Vader (Dave Prowse, voice of James Earl Jones) have defeated the Rebel Alliance at Hoth and elsewhere. The Emperor (Ian McDiarmid) has ordered Vader to capture Jedi-in-training Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and turn him to the Dark Side of the Force before the boy becomes too powerful and destroys the two Sith Lords. To achieve this goal, Vader uses every means at his disposal -- the Imperial Fleet and bounty hunters -- to capture Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) and C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) and use them as bait to lure Skywalker to Cloud City on Bespin...and into a carefully laid trap.Luke manages to escape, but now Han is frozen in carbonite and in the clutches of the vile Tatooine gang lord Jabba the Hutt. And as he, Leia, Chewbacca and new ally Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams), they are unaware that Palpatine has ordered the construction of a second, more powerful Death Star. If the Empire completes this planet-killing space station, the Rebellion is doomed.The first half of Jedi focuses on Han's rescue from Jabba's Palace on Luke's home world. It starts out subtly, with C-3PO (clueless as ever) and his feisty astromech counterpart R2-D2 (Kenny Baker) being "given" as a gift to the Hutt as a token of goodwill by Luke, who hopes -- against evidence to the contrary -- that Jabba will see reason and negotiate. Then, a bounty hunter called Boussh arrives with Han's Wookiee pal Chewbacca, but later, when Han is thawed out in an abortive rescue attempt, it is revealed that Boussh is really Leia in disguise and she is forced to wear a skimpy outfit (later made famous in an episode of "Friends") and chained to the slug-like crime lord.The film finally becomes full of action once Luke arrives at the palace to get his friends out of this mess. His first attempt to use his Jedi powers seems to fail, but later, at the Pit of Carkoon -- the nesting place of the awful Sarlacc -- the young Jedi uses the Force and his new lightsaber to help destroy Jabba and most of his minions. Han, Lando and Leia have some of their best moments in this sequence, with some of the best lines going to Ford's roguish smuggler-turned-Rebel-hero:Luke (to Han): Han!Han: Luke! How we doin'?Luke: Same as always.Han: That bad, huh?***Han: I think my eyes ARE getting better. Instead of a big black blur I see a bright blur.Luke: There's not much to see. I grew up here, you know.Han: You're gonna die here, you know. Convenient.Mayhem ensues, but the Rebels manage to escape with their lives. But Luke has unfinished business with his Jedi Master Yoda, and the Rebels have just decoded the data stolen by Bothan spies. The Empire is building a new battle station near the moon of Endor, and the Emperor is supervising the final stages of its construction.....Return of the Jedi was altered in the late 1990s with CGI graphics to test some of the new digital effects and technology that would later be used in the current prequels, although most of the changes come at the very end, where the victory celebration on Endor is now supplemented by simultaneous parties on Bespin and Tatooine. There is a new musical number that replaces the original version's "Lapti Nek" and the Victory Celebration features new material composed by John Williams.

I finally have my complete set!I watched all the movies since the very first one that came out in 1977!I’m a Star Wars fan since,…. I remember as if it were yesterday… 1977… that’s crazy! I’m content with the movie!

Buy it. Watch it. Love it.

Pour tout fan de Star Wars qui se respecte. Choisir entre les versions spéciale ou d’origine est tout simplement génial!On peut redécouvrir le film avec lequel on a grandi! Et ça, ça n’a pas de prix!

Star Wars: Episode VI - Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter (Original Kinoversion + Special Edition, 2 DVDs) [Limited Edition] FSK 12 ca. 132 MinutenBestellt über AMAZON. Aber gebraucht aus dem Bestand von Medimops (siehe Bild). Zustand OK.Star Wars Episode VI zählt schon seit Erstsichtung 1983 (2007) zu meinen Lieblingsfilmen der ganzen STAR WARS Reihe. Faszinierend fand ich, dass es neben der deutschen und englischen Spur auch hier eine Spanische gibt. Wieder seltsam, dass im Weltbekannten INTRO-Vorspann, wie auch schon bei Episode IV + V der Text auf Englisch mit deutschen Untertiteln läuft.EXTRAS: Sprachauswahl: Englisch, Deutsch und Spanisch. Untertitel genauso plus für Hörgeschädigte. LEGO STAR WARS – interessiert mich nicht.Ich besaß seit ihrer Erscheinung schon die silberne DVD-Box mit den Episoden 4 bis 6 plus Zusatz DVD. Auf dieser befinden sich natürlich die bearbeiteten und restaurierten Versionen wie hier auf dieser oben genannten. Leider damals zu früh zugeschlagen. Weil ich einfach nochmal die unbearbeitete Originalversion von 1983 sehen wollte, musste ich hier zugreifen. Ich bewerte hier also die Originalversion von 1983 unbearbeitet.Ca.3859 Bewertungen. VHS, BR, Prime und DVD wieder alle in einen Topf geworfen.FAZIT: Einfach genial. So muss es damals gewesen sein. Ein breiter Streifen oben und unten schwarz. Einfach das Original. Ton und Bildqualität auch völlig ok. Viele Kritiker sehen Episode 6 als schwächsten der Ur-Reihe. Ich aber nicht.Trotz unbearbeiteter Version die Story einfach faszinierend. Die Schlacht, imperiale Technik gegen Ureinwohner gegen EWOK und natürlich finale Schlacht gegen den 2. Todesstern.FAZIT 2:Der Sarlacc sah noch wie eine fleischfressende Pflanze aus.Kurz vor dem Ende gab es noch keinen Szenenwechsel nach Naboo und CoruscantAnakin Skywalker wurde noch von Sebastian Shaw dargestellt. Diese Szene hätte nie geändert werden dürfen. Alleine von der Logik her schon. Obi Wan wurde ja auch nicht geändert. Vader starb als gealterter Jedi und nicht als Junger.Gebe alle Sterne.

3° film (ora episodio 6) della bellissima Saga di Star Wars - Prodotto che non dovrebbe mancare nella collezione di un amante del genere.

Espectacular edición en blue ray de este clásico del cine ficción. El artwork del steelbook inmejorable. Lo único que podrían haber puesto más empeño en el disco en sí que el diseño del mismo muy sozo. Pero en general un inflatable en cualquier colección de Star Wars o de cine

Perfecta colección de las 6 películas hasta el momento. Buscaba algo parecido y he dado en el clavo. Aunque tienes que comprar una por una, no vienen en una típica caja de cartón de coleccionista. Para mi perfecto.Típica caja metálica aunque muy fina para mi gusto y recubierto de plástico por dentro. Solo viene el Blu-Ray y nada más. El dibujo de delante es un tono metalizado y tiene cierto relieve en las letras y por detrás aparece la portada original muy bien dibujada. Son totalmente excelentes, no podrían estar mejor hechos. He colgado una foto para que veáis la parte de atrás ya que viene con un cartón que representa la típica parte de atrás de un dvd o blu-ray donde sale escenas, información, créditos, etc... y al ser un SteelBox lo podemos extraer quitando dos trozo de celo y se deja ver en todo su esplendor. También he colgado otra foto para que veáis las seis cartulinas y como he decidido cortar la parte que envuelve cada película por encima para guardarlos en el estante. Lógicamente he hecho tal cosa porque es mucho más bonito ver los dibujos de la caja que ese trozo de cartón tapándolo.Ahora toca esperar a la nueva trilogía y las antologías que también tienen pensado sacar, aunque... ¿Cuantos años habrá que esperar para que saquen un edición con un dibujo tan excelente como lo son estas 6 primeras? Muchos.
