'''''Return of the Jedi''''', officially titled '''''Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi''''', is a [[science fiction]] [[film]] by [[George Lucas]] that debuted in [[1983]], and released in [[1997]]. This film was the third film in a trilogy that started with the very successful [[Star Wars]] (renamed by Lucas to ''Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope'' after the success of the first film, and the prospect of sequels). This film is based upon a nine part series of short stories drafted out by Lucas in the [[1970s]] (hence the episode numbering). ▼

The film was originally named '''''Revenge of the Jedi''''' until it was pointed out that revenge is contrary to the [[Jedi]] code, though many speculate that the change was always planned to throw fans off. But it has also been claimed that ''[[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan]]'' was originally subtitled ''The Vengeance of Khan'', and that the title was changed because of its similarity to ''Revenge of the Jedi''. (Considering the prescence of a clone as the antagonist in Star Trek: Nemesis and the Clone Troopers in Attack of the Clones, two movies of Trek and Wars released many years later, it would be an interesting coincidence).▼

The movie was a commercial success, but is regarded by many critics and much of the public as the weakest of the original trilogy. The stone-age inhabitants of the Endor moon, the [[Ewoks]], particularly, annoy contemporary adult viewers, as their cuteness is, by some, regarded as a ploy to sell merchandising by Lucas (a trend they see continued with [[Jar Jar Binks]] in [[The Phantom Menace]]) and their ability to overcome the "Empire's best troops" strains credibility even in a fantasy film, those critics argue.▼

The space battle between the Rebel and Imperial fleets, and the starfighter attack on the Death Star, were well-regarded by critics.
