Comments

August 1st (paragraphs to be integrated in the final contents of this section)

The final scene was improved for arisen from films in Special edition in 1997. A new music was composed and recorded by John Williams, and of the numerical sequences were integrated to show the reactions of the population to the advertisement of died of the Emperor on Tatooine and Bespin, like on the galactic capital, Coruscant (its first appearance in a Star Wars , at the time).

This sequence of fine again was improved for the edition DVD in 2004. Anakin Skywalker appears there now under the features of Hayden Christensen and either under those of Sebastian Shaw as in the old version of film. However Sebastian Shaw always appears when Anakin is seen without its helmet, with numerical final improvements removing its eyebrows to him (which are supposed to have burned in Episode III) and changing to him the color of its iris. A plan showing the rejoicings on Naboo was also integrated and the scene of Coruscant now lets appear, in basic decorations, the Temple Jedi and the Galactic Sénat, always upright, but probably physically degraded by more than twenty years of imperial repression.

Complete history

Returned of Coruscant, the lord Sith Dark Vador arrives in a imperial shuttle on the site of the Star of Dead the, in construction around the forest moon of Endor. He announces the nearest arrival of the Empereur Palpatine (Dark Sidious) in person, to come to supervise the progress of the work. Terrorized, the commander announces that the teams will redouble efforts.

On Tatooine, two droïdes find on mission in the palate of Jabba Hutt, in order to deliver a message on behalf of their Master, the Master Jedi Luke Skywalker. This message summons Its Excellence to deliver Han Solo, still frozen in a block of Carbonite, under penalty of death. Jabba gausse of the threat, and is quite simply satisfied to take the droïdes of Luke to its service: R2-D2 on its Barge of sands, and C-3PO/Z-6PO as translator taking into account his services of droïde protocolar. At the court of Jabba also Lando Calrissian is, which was made engage under the identity of Tamtel Skreej in the Skiff guard; the latter serves Jabba, just like the Gamorréens Guards. Jabba carries out a life of pleasures in its palate, and receives the visits of famous smugglers. Boba Fett is him also present, it brought to Jabba the cryogenic box containing Han Solo frozen.

Later the evening enters in scene an bargain hunter, Boussh , bringing with him a catch moreover for Jabba: large the wookie Chewbacca delivered connected! The bargain hunter seems frightening, and uses a thermal Détonateur like means of negotiation. Amused, Jabba accepts it in its Court. The night, Boussh approaches the box to try to release Han, while everyone sleeps. He manages to bring back it to the life, and removes his mask: Boussh proves to be the princess Leia, disguised. At the time when they exchange words of meeting again, a serious laughter is made hear: the hangings of the bottom of the room drop and reveal Jabba and its Court, which attended all the scene. This made laugh all guests, Salacious Crumb, the buffoon of Jabba, at the head. Jabba throws Han in cell, where it finds his large hairy companion Chewbacca. As for Leia, allured by its charm, it takes it as dancer.

The following day, Luke Skywalker influences the guards of Jabba thanks to the Force and manages to enter the throne room, covered heavy coat with cap of the Masters Jedi. The discussion with Jabba turns short, Luke holds up an handgun, but is trapped and fall into the ditches, to be subjected to the jaws of a terrible monster, the Rancor. He manages to kill it by crushing it under the magnetic door which separates its cave from the ditches. Courroucé by the loss of its favorite monster, Jabba decides to subject Luke and Han to the torment of the Sarlacc, which consists of a slow digestion in the stomach of a terrible creature, during more than thousand years. On the barge of sands which takes along the Court and Jabba on the site of the torment, C-3PO/Z-6PO finds R2-D2, which officiates like groom while bringing glasses to the guests. The barge is escorted by two shuttles; on that where are condemned, could assemble Lando, always incognito.

Arrived at Sarlacc, Luke starts general hilarity by again professing death threats with all the assistance. Sure of him, it is the only one to notice R2D2, on the principal bridge of the barge of Jabba. To the signal agreed upon, R2 launches the saber of Luke in the airs, which it hid up to now in its robot-like entrails. Skywalker seizes some, and follows a tumultuous battle which sees the end of Jabba and its Court in a sheaf of flames. The barge explodes while our rebellious friends escape in a shuttle. Jabba and its comparses were actually carried out.

On the site of construction of new Star of Death, it is the visit in large pumps of the Emperor, who unloads on board an imperial shuttle, with his guard and his dignitaries, on bottom of uninterrupted fleet of hunters TIE illustrating the size of the galactic Empire. It comes to be enquérir of the advance of construction, and announces with its faithful apprentice, that according to its plans, the end of the Alliance Rebels and of Luke Skywalker is close.

By leaving Tatooine, Luke undertakes a solitary voyage in its X-wing, copilot by the droïde R2. It will see Yoda on Dagobah, to complete its formation. The old Jedi Master announces to him that it does not have anything any more to learn to him, as it already faced Vador in spite of his warnings. More nothing? The former member of the Conseil Jedi reveals to him that it has a sister and assure him that his/her father is well Vador, before disappearing physically by using the technique from Which-Gon Jinn. After being itself trusted with its intuition, Luke discovers that his/her twin sister is not other than her friend Leia. Obi-Wan which appears to him confirms its dires.

In the flagship of Alliance, My Mothma, the rebellious strategist, summarizes the situation: the Empire undertook the construction of a new Star, originally the absolute weapon of the Grand Moff Tarkin, already destroyed by the rebels at the time of the Bataille of Yavin. A Field of protection coming from the Moon of Endor guard during work, this is why the imperial fleet is not present at the neighborhoods. In order to have chances of success in the conflict, the rebels must destroy this new threat before it is operational. For that, they have a catch imperial shuttle, and passwords of access of safety giving access to the moon of Endor; enough to send a team without drawing the attention. Their plan consists in decontaminating the field of protection of the site of construction, while making jump the energy source contained in a bunker on the moon: they will be Luke, Leia and Han Solo which will be occupied some, with the head of a commando. The fleet rebels will undertake it to divert the vessels of the Empire, while leaving the Hyperespace very close to Star, and by hoping for the success of the mission of the commando; it is the Admiral Ackbar, originating in My Calamari, which will direct the fleet. Lastly, a section made up of X-Wing, B-Wing, A-Wing as well as Falcon Millenium, will have to carry the final blow: as of the dissipation of the field of protection, the hunters will infiltrate in perforated food of Star, to reach the generator of energy located in its heart and to destroy it, causing the destruction of the whole by a chain reaction; it is Lando, recently promoted general rebel, who will direct the section since the Faucon Millenium, whose copilot is Nien Nunb.

This plan must be confronted with those of the Emperor, who decided to tighten a trap with Alliance at this same place. All occurs relatively well at the beginning for the rebels, in spite of a difficult passage at the time of the disclosure of the password, which makes say to Luke, reciprocally perceiving the presence of his/her father in the imperial cruiser which carries out control, that its own presence is a danger to the mission.

The moon of Endor contains surprises: the bad ones, the motor bikes with suspension which make it possible to the imperial scouts to reach considerable speeds in the forests of Séquoia S, and of good, the tribe animist of small the Ewok S, via Wicket which crosses the way of Leia. They take the droïde gilded C-3PO/Z-6PO for a god speaking their dialect, and are ready to help the commando. Ewoks unite with the rebellious cause, the attack of the bunker is for tomorrow. The night, in the village of Ewoks, Luke eclipses group, having reflected on the event with his/her father, who detected it on the shuttle during the orbital control of the password: it decides to be delivered to the imperial forces. The meeting takes place on the footbridge of the imperial bunker. Vador has fun to see that Luke made new a laser Saber with green crystals since their last meeting. He concedes to him that its formation is now almost completed, but that it is the Palpatine Emperor who will finish it. Delivering to the Emperor, Dark Vador brings his son towards the Obscure Côté of the Force.

During this time, the rebellious fleet realizes at its exit of hyperspace that it is trapped, and that the imperial fleet is finally with go. The Emperor announces in Luke that they will observe together the extinction of the forces of Alliance, and entrusts to him that the superlaser of Star of Death is operational right now: the first rebellious cruisers are disintegrated in luminous explosions. The admiral Ackbar cannot anything vis-a-vis this firepower, and orders with his ships to approach with range the imperial cruisers, to escape the shootings from Star. On planet, Han and its assistants, with the catches with the detachment of guard of the bunker, know tops and bottoms: they must be measured with AT-ST, units armor-plated and biped, suddenly appeared in the perimeter; Ewoks have extremely to face these mechanized giants.

The Emperor causes Luke, which lights its laser saber and is confronted once again with Vador, under his amused glance. The duel tests Luke hard: his/her father slips to him again with words covered that together they could reverse Palpatine to reign, father and wire, on this Galaxy very, very remote. When Han finally makes jump the bunker, Lando is engulfed in perforated food and approaches the center. Luke must carry out until the end confrontation, irritated with the idea that Dark Vador can be caught some with his/her sister in addition to him. The duel proceeds now close to the footbridge of the elevator of the tower, when Luke slices the hand of Vador, amazement: its hand was already mechanical. Seeing his Sith lord with most badly, the Emperor tries to make rock Luke last once, as it did it for his father before him. Not obtaining any the anticipated results, it passes then to the action itself, by projecting bluish flashes of Force. Luke suffers, and the Emperor will make it roast without the least form of pity. At this point in time Anakin Skywalker, the old identity of Dark Vador, re-appears. Vador realizes of a blow that the Emperor is the absolute evil, that it finally almost destroyed all that it liked (the Ordre Jedi, its wife Padmé and its friend Obi-Wan Kenobi) and who with the death of Luke and Alliance Rebels it will have completed its work. Anakin is caught some then by surprised with its former Master and in the puit elevator, the precipitant throws it directly towards the core, and in a deadly fall. The Star in construction is shaken at the same time by the shooting of Lando, and goes soon imploser; Luke and its father, seriously wounded, try to leave the station. After having withdrawn the helmet of Dark Vador, Luke sees for the first time the tortured features of Anakin.

Later, whereas all celebrate the victory over Star as well as the catch of certain districts of Coruscant, Luke is collected in front of roughing-hew it where his/her died father burns, according to the Jedi tradition. After having joined with back-plate his/her friends in the celebration, Luke will see the spirits of large Jedi all three joined together to materialize: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Anakin Skywalker, his/her father. It can now share the joy of the victory with all. With the top of the fireworks, in clear skies, no star other than brilliant scintillates…

But when George Lucas announced it to the producer Howard Kazanjian, this one described it as “slackness”, and titrates it the Revenge on Jedi , or differently translated: the Revenge of Jedi ( Revenge off the Jedi ) was essential and was useful for promotion of film. But three weeks before the exit, George Lucas reconsidered the decision and imposed the title initially envisaged, arguing that a Jedi does not seek revenge.
