Episode Return Of The Jedi (1983) | Ep. 20 - Part 1

0:00 1:12:52

How do you end the most beloved trilogy in cinema? John, Westy, and Matt begin the story of the film that had to stick the landing for a generation.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Richard Marquand, the cast, and the second act — including the rescue at Jabba's palace, the redemption arc taking shape, and George Lucas's heavy hand behind the scenes.

The final confrontation with the Emperor is still to come. Part 2 faces it: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.
