…is really disappointing. To be honest, if Lucas wanted to “fix” anything, it should have been that (though, now having seen and compared the original RotJ with the special-edition one, I very much like the addition of all the other planets celebrating the Empire’s downfall).
But what I mean is, the Emperor is this marvellously creepy character who looks like the Witch of Endor (hardy har har), and he’s so conniving, wicked, insidious, and delightful to watch in the prequels and here—yet in a second Vader just throws him down a shaft, and that’s it. It’s a tremendous anticlimax, even more so because there’s all the rest of the movie to watch.
Apologies for the musing out of nowhere, which is probably another example of my reinventing the wheel, but RotJ is on TV right now, and I’m half-watching it, and after the heights of Star Wars and TESB it disappointed me originally and disappoints me now, which is too bad because there are some really good things in it (I don’t even mind the—Ewoks, right? The teddy bears?).
What say you fine folks?
