Film
Return of the Jedi
- 7PM
The third film in George Lucas’ Star Wars saga finds Luke Skywalker (Hamill) reckoning once and for all with the nefarious Darth Vader. While certainly a showcase for flashy state-of-the-art special effects, Return of the Jedi also boasts good old-fashioned puppetry that brings to life two of its most iconic characters: the sagacious Yoda (portrayed by Henson alum Frank Oz) and, making his screen debut, the voluminous villain Jabba the Hutt. The 2011 Star Wars: The Complete Saga edition.
Preceded by AT-AT Day Afternoon, directed by Patrick Boivin.
