Enjoy The Final Battle Of Return Of The Jedi Without The Ewoks In HD


My favourite part of Return of the Jedi was the final Death Star battle, a perfect choreography of models filmed with computer-controlled cameras. It was truly amazing — except for the Ewok clowns interrupting the flow with their unrealistic fight.* So I always wanted to see this: The entire battle in high definition.

* How can a bunch of tiny bears with no weapons beat a division of fully armed Imperial stormtroopers? Originally, the plan for the Endor part was to make a Vietnam-style battle in Kashyyyk, the planet of the Wookies (like Chewbacca) that were enslaved to build the Death Star. Imagine that: Crazy 7-foot-tall Wookies fighting to death with Imperial troops, guerrilla style. It wouldn’t have sold a lot of toys, but it would have been glorious.
