'Return Of The Jedi' Is The Best 'Star Wars' Movie, And Here's Why
Okay, let’s get one thing out of the way right now. Star Wars is great. Every entry in this long-running series is fantastic in its own right. Together, they tell an amazing, generations-spanning story that really is the sum of its parts. However, any chance I get to talk about one specific film in this series is great to me, and Return of the Jedi is no exception. I absolutely adore this entry in the series. It is such a fantastic conclusion to the original Star Wars saga, and I think it is often an overlooked gem of the original trilogy.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Count Dooku
Attack of the Clones has not faired well with some Star Wars fans since its release back in 2002, with many considering it to be one of the weakest movies in the entire franchise. Whilst I completely understand the points some people raise, no one can deny that the inclusion of the great Sir Christopher Lee as the films villain was easily the best part about it. Lee stepped in as the new apprentice of the villainous Darth Sidious, Count Dooku.

10 Things You Do Not Know About Kathleen Kennedy
Kathleen Kennedy is an absolute titan in Hollywood. She is one of the biggest producers who had some incredible movies under her belt. For anyone who may not be as familiar with her, she is most notably the President of Lucasfilm, and has been a part of every Star Wars project that has come out after Disney’s purchase of the company. If you are still unfamiliar with her, I guarantee you are familiar with her work. Despite fans' rather mixed feelings towards her, she is the woman behind Star Wars and countless other films.

The 10 Best Characters Introduced During The Prequels
The Star Wars prequels introduced viewers to a fair amount of new characters while bringing back familiar ones. Everyone is bound to have different favorites. For this top ten list, I am staying within the bounds of characters introduced within the prequel trilogy films themselves. (It makes things easier for me.) That being said, how the characters are utilized in other materials will also be a contributing factor to their inclusion and ranking.

10 Best Pieces of Music By John Williams Throughout 'Star Wars'
One of the elements that makes the Star Wars saga successful is the amazing soundtrack composed by John Williams. His work is as well known as the movies themselves. Everyone knows the themes from Jaws, Superman, Indiana Jones, E.T., Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, and Harry Potter, among others. He has won the Academy Awards for Best Original Score for Jaws, Star Wars, E.T., and Schindler’s List and been nominated for almost all his other works. He is known for his use of leitmotifs, or short recurring musical phrases, in creating the larger orchestral piece for the scene. The space opera would not have been complete without the music which helps to build the atmosphere, and contribute to the emotions we felt as we see the story of Star Wars unfold. This author loves the entire Star Wars soundtrack, but we can only choose ten for this article. After much deliberation, these are the 10 best pieces of music by John Williams throughout Star Wars.

This has led to the streaming service, with its moderate price for the content available, becoming one of the biggest in the world and a fine competitor for the likes of Amazon Prime, Netflix, and HBO Max.

'The Last Jedi' Proves That George Lucas' 'Revenge of the Jedi' Ending Would Have Worked
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi was probably the least popular movie of the recent sequel trilogy. Some fans loved what Rian Johnson had done to Star Wars lore. Others wished the movie had not existed. Now as Screen Rant have pointed out, perhaps The Last Jedi did not stray too far from what George Lucas intended. It might have borrowed some ideas from early drafts of Return of the Jedi.

If there were only one or two, these could have been red herrings designed to throw off audiences. Unfortunately, there are more than a few half-baked plans that were nonstarters in this set of movies.
