Yay, LJ is back!
So julibeth and I watched Star Wars on the phone... yes, that's right, we talked while both watching the same movie. We have to compensate for being on other sides of the country somehow. Anyway, I decided that since I reviewed the last of the new ones, it would be fitting to review the last of the originals!

Well, basically, I loved it.
Vader's transformation back into Anakin was amazing... I really liked how Luke "unmasked" him, and found his real father. To be honest, I started sniffling at that point!
The Ewoks were adorable. *Squishes Ewoks.* I know there's people who hate them, but I don't know how, when they're so cute.
The Leia/Han was also sweet. Leia's response to Han saying "I love you" - "I know" - was brilliant, as it was what he said to her the movie before. And of course, Han's understanding that Leia was in love... with her brother! The look on his face was terrific. "Your... ohhhh." (Well, not exactly, but practically.)
I loved the ending, with Yoda, Obi Wan and Anakin watching. Only question - where was Padme?
I also have to pose another question relating to her... it seems Lucas may have goofed, because at one point, Leia actually says she remembered her mother. Yet in ROTS, Padme dies... that is a little strange, is all.
Overall... very good movie!
