#RETURN OF THE JEDI MOVIE#

For now, though, our apologies - we will not do that again. Two years from now, that's how we'll feel about the Return Of The Jedi. We know how they end but find great pleasure and nourishment watching them proceed to that ending. That's why people keep going back to see Romeo And Juliet over and over again or The Wizard Of Oz. However, who knew Lucas at that time was to continue the Saga and subsequently stories and Paths change, so the title may be null if we find soon enough in part 7 that the Sith are lurking somewhere in the Galaxy. The Rebel fleet counters with a massive attack on. The title Return of the Jedi simply means the destruction of the Sith and the return of the Jedi Order. Of course, if they are wonderful enough - this may be an excuse, but I doubt it - if they're wonderful enough, they will come to us new, even though we've seen them a hundred times. The Empire prepares to crush the Rebellion with a more powerful Death Star. It's the difference between fact and fiction, of course, and the power of fantasy in our lives - the need for mystery, for wonderful stories that spill themselves out for us. This time we got them right, and you got angry. Usually you get angry when we get our facts wrong.

'I've been waiting for that movie for three years, and now you have ruined it for me. But enough of you on the East Coast called to complain that we want to apologize publicly to everybody.Ĭalls - there were more phone calls on this one than we ever got in the middle of the hottest Middle East disputes.Ĭalls - there were more phone calls than Richard Gere would get if he listed his number.Īnd all because last night on All Things Considered, we permitted a six-and-a-half-year-old boy to tell us everything - and I mean everything - about Return Of The Jedi. As 'Star Wars' Day appears just over the horizon this May 4, 2023, 'Return of the Jedi' will return to theaters starting Friday (April 28) in preparation for the film's 40th anniversary coming. We goofed so badly that we changed our program before rebroadcasting it to the West Coast, which means that you West Coast listeners won't know what I'm talking about. In 2020, it was also possible to see The Empire Strikes Back in theaters in between Covid-19 lockdowns.

Last year saw the brief return of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story to the silver screen in anticipation of the debut of Andor on Disney+. At its Star Wars Celebrations event in London, Disney announced today it would rerelease the classic film in cinemas in. Return of the Jedi won’t be the first time Disney has brought an old Star Wars film to theaters. Well, the comic book was a goof, but we certainly goofed last night. Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi is heading back to theaters.
