b'We wrap up our six-part series on the classic \\u201cStar Wars\\u201d movies with the climactic final half of \\u201cReturn of the Jedi.\\u201d We discuss how the Empire is ahead of the rebels every step of the way, question Luke\\u2019s choice of forest camouflage, and explain why Ewoks are better unsubtitled. Also, how is Luke\\u2019s journey to being a Jedi not like what you see in most action movies? Who is more heroic in the end, Luke or Vader? Why does the Emperor wait so long to show us his lightning fingers? Why are rebel ships equipped with fireworks? And is Endor the name of the moon, or the name of the planet the moon is orbiting, or both?'
