Part 17/20:
In 1983, Return of the Jedi concluded the trilogy. Directed by Lucas’s new choice, Richard Marquand, it featured the brave rescue of Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, a new threat with the second Death Star, and the battle on Endor. The film introduced the Ewoks—tiny, teddy bear-like creatures—whose role divided fans but ultimately added to the film’s charm. It also revealed the full truth: Luke’s twin sister was Leia, connecting the entire saga.
