Comfort Films 113: Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)

Comfort Films Podcast

May the fourth be with you!! To celebrate Star Wars day, we're talking about the last film of the original trilogy (and the only one we haven't yet discussed), and we've brought back the brilliant Christopher Witty (previously on our Goodfellas and Mr. Nice Guy episodes) to help us break down Return of the Jedi. We talk Ewoks, Palpatine, the question of Luke Skywalker's loyalty, Darth Vader's big change of heart, Princess Leia's transformation from firebrand politician to rebel leader, Jabba the Hutt, Han and Lando going legitimate, Max Rebo and the jizz-wailers, special effects, puppetry, sound effects, John Williams's score, and so many other awesome facets of this classic film, in a super-sized episode packed with trivia, laughs, and great memories of a movie that shaped all three of us as 5-7 year olds. Come overthrow the empire with us!
