A late tribute to actor David Prowse, who sadly passed away on November 28th. I had the fortunate opportunity to meet David several years ago and got to shake his hand. He was very kind to me.

Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983)

Return of the Jedi doesn't quite reach the mythic quality of the previous film. It's still a fitting end to the trilogy. Episode VI has as many exotic locations as the previous chapters, it has the action you want, and though it may be more "kid-friendly", this change isn't out-of-place. It brings things around nicely. You’ve come to love these characters and it’s finally time to say goodbye as the saga comes to an end.

With Han Solo (Harrison Ford) in the clutches of gangster Jabba the Hutt, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), C-3P0 (Anthony Daniels), and R2-D2 (Kenny Baker) stage a daring rescue.  Only then can they address the rumors that the Galactic Empire’s Emperor (Ian McDiarmid) is personally overseeing the construction of a new Death Star. They must also contest with Darth Vader (voiced by James Earl Jones), who is determined to lure his son to the Dark Side of the Force.

Episode VI begins with a strong conclusion to the Han Solo rescue story. This series has been full of great villains and this adventure gives us another: the gag-inducing Jabba the Hutt. Looking like a giant space slug, cruel Jabba laughs heartily at the suffering of others. Thank goodness he's too massive to get off his throne. Otherwise, this galactic pervert would be leaving slimy handprints on every woman in the vicinity. You love to hate him. It’s a shame his scene had to be cut from the original Star Wars. We could've gotten just a little bit more of him.

From there, the stakes are raised. We finally meet Darth Vader’s master, the Emperor. This cackling, loathsome wizard is one of my favorite characters in the entire franchise. He’s so deceitful cruel and manipulative. You get the sense that he’s much more powerful than he lets on, which means he’s the most fearsome of them all. He's there to make sure the Death Star will be finished on-schedule; as if he'll be pushing the "fire" button himself. Some might say another killer moon is lacking in originality, I say when you have a machine powerful enough to destroy entire planets with ease, you don’t toss it away if you hit a couple of snags the first time!

The one flawed aspect of this story is towards the middle when we encounter some creatures named Ewoks. They’re fun… but a tad too kid-friendly. They're introduced ready to roast our heroes over a fire. Afterward, they're big teddies. The idea is that they’re the opposite of the Storm Troopers. They’re low-tech, kind of stupid but could turn out to be allies. I get it, I just wish they weren’t so comedic. This movie’s got slavery, executions, man-eating monsters, torture, heavy emotions, and a tad too much levity.

Things pick up again during the epic conclusion. It’s filled with emotion from, of all people, Darth Vader - a man with no mouth, eyebrows, nose, or means to show distress, fear, or anger. Everything you've gone through with all of the characters converges. My star rating might be lower but there are not just one or two, but many, many memorable and amazing moments throughout.

Return of the Jedi manages to keep the imagination flowing and expands this beloved universe. It’s not just a satisfying ending, but a great one. All your favorites are back: Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, R2, C-3P0, Yoda, Vader. Lando gets a bigger role than before and we get terrific additions that are just as memorable as the rest. Return of the Jedi completes a trilogy that’s hard not to fall in love with. (Original 1983 version on DVD, October 20, 2012)

I don’t think there’s any other character I’ve drawn more than Darth Vader. Thank you David Prowse for being the best baddie ever (and an excellent muse) #davidprowse #darthvader #starwars https://www.instagram.com/p/CIMoj3jDSnm/?igshid=11eufpxhvr0cj

Quelle belle nouvelle pour le jour de mon anniversaire :/ Le grand David Prowse nous a quitté. Pour ceux à qui ce nom n'évoque rien, c'était l'interprète du corps de Darth Vader (Dark Vador) dans la trilogie originale de Star Wars. Je n'ai jamais eu l'occasion de le croiser, mais j'ai pu obtenir deux signatures... #starwars #davidprowse #daveprowse #darthvader #darkside #ripdavidprowse (à Aix-en-Provence, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CILtT1vjuQm/?igshid=18z3vhkh1wkoy
