Star Wars: Episode Vi - Return Of The Jedi [Blu-ray]

It's been awhile and got into Star Wars binge state so I had to buy this on Prime. Great movie of course and it's in 4k BUT what is the deal with the aspect ratio. The image is stretched vertically. Everything looks off perfectly round things are oval. Same thing when I bought Empire but not with Hope the 1st one is fine but 2 and 3 are annoyingly stretched vertically.Also bought Clone Wars and same there. Was going to buy Menace and Revenge of the Sith but when everything is in the wrong aspect ratio it's annoying. No it's not my TV settings. Please fix this Amazon.

Since Amazon has carelessly mixed all reviews of all editions of the Star Wars Trilogy (Ep. IV, V, VI), confusing many buyers and causing many to pick the wrong Editions as a result, let me start by stating which DVD's and which editions I bought -I got all three originals of the first true trilogy - Episodes IV, V, VI, all separate in their own cases and each with 2 DVDs inside.DVD Edition, Enhanced AND Theatrical Editions (2 discs per movie), Full Screen Edition (Also available in widescreen)*Just a note about the Full Screen edition: The "Enhanced" remake version of each movie is indeed in Full Screen but the Original Unaltered/Theatrical Editions on disc 2 (for all 3 movies) is in letterbox only. I had no problem with it, it did not detract or distract while watching and the letterbox aspect ratio has barely more black than the regular modern day Widescreen...So, don't worry about that if you're thinking of getting this. I was so glad to find the REAL movie versions that I would have taken any letterbox size!Disc 1 - "Enhanced" version (re-release with added scenes & changed musical scenes in Mos Eisley, Jabba's Palace, End celebration sequence on Return Of The Jedi, etc...)Disc 2 with the original unaltered "Theatrical" version, which is the original as aired in movie theaters in 1977-1983.It was so great to FINALLY find the edition of the original trilogy with the option of watching it the proper way without all the added CGI animation and re-done music scenes. I agree with another reviewer here that I, too, absolutely DESPISE the re-make of the musical band scene in Jabba's Palace (Return Of The Jedi). The female singer originally was a puppet and there were men under the floor making her "dance" by moving a steel frame and puppet strings. The CGI cheapens the entire scene and the music itself is both awful and extremely aggravating. I remembered the original song ever since I first saw the movies on VHS when I was growing up. What a throwback experience.The packaging is nice. The front and back covers of the case have the original artwork from the first VHS releases of the films from back in the late 70's/early 80's. There are bonus features included but I don't really care about that stuff; I bought this strictly to have the original unaltered films on demand. The paper inside just has artwork, a chapter/scene list, and a quick description of what commentary & features are included on the discs in addition to the films themselves. Nothing extra on the little paper itself, everything is on the discs. Lucas is a sell-out giving this franchise to Disney; what a mistake. I don't care to watch any of his commentary. There is also a demo of a ridiculous Lego Star Wars game for XBox which I will also never use on my XBox.These editions were released in September of 2006 and I believe this is the only time they released the originals on DVD so I am glad and lucky to have found them. At approximately $30 apiece, I feel it was a steal to get such a rare hard-to-find edition at such a great price-under $100 for all three films, and two versions each at that.I highly recommend this particular edition to all Star Wars fans who want the true original experience. For me personally I feel it was best as it was originally shown, with all the physical puppets, original music scenes, and no CGI.

Great product!

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is a fantastic conclusion to one of the most iconic trilogies in cinematic history. Packed with action, emotion, and unforgettable moments, this film brings the original saga full circle in a way that’s both satisfying and thrilling.The story picks up with the rescue of Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt’s palace—a sequence that’s visually rich and full of suspense. From there, the pace never lets up. The battle on Endor, the space dogfights, and especially the final confrontation between Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Emperor Palpatine are all perfectly crafted and emotionally charged.What sets this movie apart is its emphasis on redemption and hope. Luke’s growth as a Jedi, his belief in the good still left in his father, and Vader’s ultimate decision give the film real heart. Plus, we get memorable additions like the Ewoks, and one of the most spectacular space battles ever put on screen.The special effects still hold up impressively, and John Williams’ score is as powerful and moving as ever. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the series, Return of the Jedi is a must-watch that delivers on every level—action, emotion, and that timeless Star Wars magic.May the Force be with you!

The best!

Movie is 10/10. Blu-ray resolution is 8/10. But the Blu-ray color grade of this movie is terrible compared to the 4k and the digital version. Get the 4k disc instead.

Now my husband can shut up about this movie being missing.

What a wonderful conclusion! After watching the first film, I wanted to see more. So I got the second film as well as this film. They were all fun and exciting to watch! I highly recommend the entire original trilogy.
