Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

*This is the “Special Edition” of Return of the Jedi, the only version of the film available for theatrical presentation.

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of the most beloved chapters in the Star Wars saga at this special Father’s Day screening of Return of the Jedi!  Bring your dad (and everyone else!) to The Loft Cinema and experience the final film in the original Star Wars trilogy on the big screen, as Darth Vader makes the ultimate sacrifice to save his son … and the galaxy.

This final chapter in the original Star Wars trilogy brought to a thrilling conclusion – at least for a time – the storylines introduced and developed in 1977’s Star Wars and 1980s The Empire Strikes Back.  After rescuing a carbonite-frozen Han Solo from the slimy clutches of Jabba the Hutt, the Rebels (including Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, R2-D2 and C-3PO) attempt to destroy the second Death Star, with help from the Ewoks, their new allies on the forest moon of Endor.  Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker struggles to help his father, Darth Vader, back from the dark side while also trying to thwart the evil Emperor’s plan to rule the galaxy! (Dir. by Richard Marquand 1983, USA, 131 mins., Rated PG)
