Kimberlee K.

In the final installment of Part 1 (because if all goes according to plan I’ll be watching the rest of the films very soon, which should provoke a Part 2) of this series, I have A LOT of feelings. More than I was ready for. In fact, I hold everyone reading this who has seen this film and did not warn me of the emotional impact completely responsible for the mini-breakdown I had mid-movie. I also blame you for the ice cream I ate afterwards.

Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi

• Here we are. The last film of the first three-film series
• Did they have any idea back then that there would be a ranty brunette girl watching them 30 years later, making commentary, trying to catch up before the eighth episode came out?
• Did they have any idea they’d still be this epic?
• Here we go.
• Okay, I said it once and I’ll say it again, Jabba the Hutt is disgusting.
• Can’t say I’m a fan of his comrades either.
• I’d take Hoth over this place any day.
• Though this place does have some tunes.
• R2! C-3P0! My guys!
• They have a message from Luke.
• What is this plan, Luke?!
• Exchange the droids for Han?
• I don’t know if I’m behind this.
• I mean Han’s a good guy (as it turned out) but R2-D2 and C-3P0 do not deserve to stay here in this awful place watching Jabba the Hutt slobber all over everything.
• I’m not down with this.
• Ah yes, here’s Han! Poor guy. Still frozen as a Disney movie.
• But who’s this bounty hunter lurking around his frozenness?
• She kind of looks like Leia…
• Wait! It is Leia!
• She’s come to give Solo a Han.
• Okay come on that was pretty good.
• Maybe one of my best.
• A Han and Leia kiss!
• I’m into it.
• Uh oh, Leia’s captured.
• And now sporting some sort of golden bikini.
• Wait.
• This is the bikini!
• I finally get that Friends reference now!
• Hey Chewy! Lookin’ good pal.
• Did you grow your hair out?
• We can talk about that later. First, we need to get out of here.
• Oh, okay. The old, diving board loop de loop light saber shoot out move. Smooth, Luke
• Leia: Screw you Jabba, imma murder you in this bikini
• *looks for symbolism in Luke’s lightsaber being green now*
• Okay, we’re free and back with Yoda.
• Why is Yoda moving so slow?
• No.
• No, Master Yoda, you can’t die.
• DOES YODA DIE?
• NO ONE TOLD ME YODA DIES.
• HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT YODA DIES?
• HOW IS THIS NOT A BIGGER DEAL?!?
• “Unexpected this is” – Yoda.
• I’m 100% going to start saying that whenever I’m casually surprised.
• OH MY GOSH HE’S DEAD.
• What in all hell?!
• THIS IS LIKE DOBBY ALL OVER AGAIN
• THIS MOVIE PROVOKES SO MUCH CAPS LOCK
• *Luke learns that Leia is his sister*
• Bet you’re pretty relieved about that, eh Luke? Seeing as she’s clearly chosen your best friend and all.
• Okay, I don’t know what an ewok even is, but I’d like one. Preferrably Wicket, here.
• Luke’s heading to fight Darth!
• Dear Dad, I would totally battle you in order to save you if you became Darth Brian.
• You too, Darth Gina.
• Also, I get the whole *power* thing, but the dark side’s biggest selling point appears to be wrinkles, black cloaks and asthma—pass.
• Note to self: always befriend teddy bears. You never know when they might come in handy against your enemies.
• The Emperor: are you totes mad, Luke?
• Luke: NO
• The Empereor: your feelings betray you!
• I’m super glad people can’t read my mind when I’m nervous or scared. It goes weird places. Things would get awkward.
