I first saw this movie...
Childhood
Why I love it...
I suppose it had to stress George Lucas out when attempting to wrap up his masterpiece. But the guy had a vision and his work in Jedi is superb.
Why? There's a lot of memorable characters found exclusively in this one- Jabba the Hut, the Ewok nation, and, though he did make a short appearance in Empire Strikes Back, the emperor proves himself to be one of the most terrifying villains ever created.
But what sets this film apart from the other Star Wars and other movies in general is the true gem in the story from a galaxy far, far away: Darth Vader. He is indeed scary, intimidating, and a force to be reckoned with. But in Jedi you see so much depth and conflict. George Lucas to a character that was already so memorable for being evil and gave him a heart. I really do think that Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) is one of the most interesting and compelling fictional characters ever created, and most of the evidence is found in this film.
