This film particularly excels in the throne room sequence. Luke's arc feels like a natural and logical continuation of where we left off in Empire Strikes Back, and the question of whether there is still good in Vader is further enhanced by the prequels. While its first act is rather weak and campy, the central conflict between Luke and Vader is compelling. Often regarded as the weakest of the original trilogy, I personally hold this as my favourite. Meanwhile, Luke struggles to help Darth Vader back from the dark side without falling into the Emperor's trap 1) Return of The Jedi (1983)Īfter a daring mission to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, the Rebels dispatch to Endor to destroy the second Death Star. This is rather my personal preference opposed to which film I think is objectively the best. HAN: You know, even I get boarded sometimes, Jabba.Its no surprise I'm a big fan of this franchise, so here is my ranking of all the films with a brief summary of my thoughts. Where would Iīe if every pilot who smuggled for me dumped their shipment at theįirst sign of an Imperial starship? It's not good business. Spice.you understand I just can't make an exception.


JABBA: Han, Han! If only you hadn't had to dump that shipment of Whatever you may think about the scene, the script clarifies the point: The original scene cast Jabba as a human, and was added back in later releases with a CGI Jabba taking his place. The cost of the cargo is what he owed him.ĭVK already posted the relevant quote from the conversation between Han and Greedo that appeared in the movie, but there is of course the controversial deleted scene where Han and Jabba meet.

It's alluded to in the movie that Han had been smuggling cargo for Jabba, but had to jettison it when he thought he was going to be boarded by Imperial forces. Less than twelve parsecs!"Ĭhewie growled skeptically and rapped on the distance gauge with hairy knuckles, commenting that Han's wild piloting must have caused a short and the gauge was off. "It says we actually shortened the distance we traveled, not just the time. As he sagged in his seat, Han noticed something. Moments later they were safe in hyperspace. and the Falcon was nearly out of the Maw. Now the last Imperial ship was falling behind. The extra candy is that this specific backstory ALSO includes the infamous "12 Parsecs Kessel Run" retcon! He hopes to pick up the drugs later, but when he finally has a chance to return, there's no trace of the shipment. I think if we can get far enough ahead, we should go ahead and dump the load just inside the Pit." But we've lost that guy on our tail, at least for the moment. "Chewie, we ain't gonna be able to outrun these Imps," Han said. In the process, during the Kessel run, he is ambushed by some Imperials and forced to dump the contraband in the Maw when he discovers that boarding is imminent, when - after a record-setting run that set the famous "12 parsecs" record - he gets OUT of the black hole region only to find a second Imperial patrol waiting for him. Jabba tells him to deliver some Glitterstim.

Han is (near the end of the book) one of Jabba's best (and favorite) pilots. In Rebel Dawn, the exact back-story of this is shown. (There's a chance that the Special Edition Han + Jabba scene has more info, but I will just pretend the Special Edition never happened) Greedo: Jabba's through with you! He has no use for smugglers who drop their shipments at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser. In A New Hope, Greedo, while infamously chatting with Solo before Han shot him first he tried to shoot Han, says: TL DR: It was hinted at in the movies, and then explained in detail later in EU books (more specifically, Rebel Dawn - the 3rd book in the Han Solo trilogy).
