Talk:Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi

Pictures?

 * Could we put in a feaw pictures in the synopsis section? AngelQueen 22:27, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I think this might be disputed
"The film was originally named Revenge of the Jedi to catch companies making fake t-shirts, toys, etc. who were using the title "Revenge of the Jedi", pointing out the fakers. Lucas believed that true fans would know that the title was fake, because vengeance is not a Jedi quality."

I've heard other sources describing this statement as a rumor, possibly a true rumor, but a rumor nonetheless.

Believe it or not its totally true. I just watched a documentary with Lucas in it and the orginal title was Revenge of the Jedi. Lucas changed the title only weeks before the release in theaters. Of course, he did this because a jedi shouldn't believe in revenge and the title would have been a huge oxymoron. Also, all this info is of the highest source of canon so it is 100% true. In the documentary they show an actual trailer that went by revenge of the jedi and a few posters as well. --Dumac 19:28, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * If any of you have Behind the Magic, it has the correct answer. I think it is a trivia question which is asked in the "scene by scene" section. - TopAce 19:31, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe there was also some concern at the time over the original title for Star Trek II, at that time going under the title Vengence of Khan. As I recall, Paramount changed the title from Vengence to Wraith, to avoid any confusion between the two pictures.Tocneppil 20:01, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Tarkin?
"Kenneth Colley (Admiral Piett)and Peter Cushing (Wilhuff Tarkin) are the only actors to play the same Imperial officer in two Star Wars films."

I'm pretty sure Tarkin was played by two different people since Peter Cushing was long dead by the time of Episode III IAmANerd 18:50, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Wayne Pygram plays Tarkin in RotS. However, thanks to the use of archive footage for the new shot of Vader landing in the Executor in the ESB Special Edition, Jerjerrod now appears in two movies, played by the same actor - Kwenn 19:16, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Overview and Background
There is similar material in both of these sections, about Lucas' involvement and the original title. Should repeating material be removed from one sections, or should the two sections be compiled to one section? Duke Starhopper

I was reading the script (link on the article).. Lando dies?
In the external links section of this article, it links to the RotJ script: http://www.scenebyscene.net/vi/rotjscript.txt

At the end, it says the Millennium Falcon is not fast enough, and is destroyed inside the Death Star, along with Lando and Nien Nunb. Han gets depressed. But then a few lines further down, Lando pops out of nowhere during the celebration scenes. What's up with that? --Danik Kreldin 00:24, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

No no no! you guys have it all wrong! Lando doesn't die in "The Return of the Jedi"! He made it through the flames. If you don't believe me, go to a movie store, buy a copy of the movie and see for yourself. (UTC)
 * Of course, we know that. But there's much debate as to whether or not that was the *original* plan for the character. jSarek 11:42, 11 May 2006

Yeah the line when Han says to Leia i have a feeling i'm not going to see her again seems to be stuck in there. Then again, he isn't force sensitive so he has no idea what he is talking about. His brain was still frozen in carbonite lol. --Dumac 19:30, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

There was also something along the lines of a 'discussion' between Harrison Ford & either George Lucas or Richard Marquand over the fate of Han. Ford apparently wanted his character to die in this film, but was overruled.Tocneppil 20:10, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Listen to the first ewok Leia meets
Right after a storm trooper shoots at Leia and the ewok the ewok gets up first. If you listen to the part a few times it sounds like he is saying "itchy mama" --Dumac 21:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It does sound like he is saying that thanks.BobafettH23 00:30, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Anakin Dissapears????
At the end of the synopsis, it says that Anakin's body disappears. Is that true? I didn't think he vanished. --Taybo20 20:25, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, according to the revised script for the special edition. Adamwankenobi 20:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, cool. Thanks...--Taybo20 20:40, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Secret Sneaker
Does anyone know where in the Endor fleet battle ILM mocked up a sneaker? -its one of those 'Easter eggs' like the potato-asteroid in Ep V & the Shak-asteroid in Ep II. I've heard it was a ship or portion of a ship that passes across the screen during the confusion of the battle, but I don't know where.Tocneppil 20:20, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Star Wars Insider once said that it was right above Wedge's ship at some point in the Death Star battle. Off topic, I'm actually very surprised that the brief Oola nudity thing wasn't editted out of the special edition. Lightman 21:37, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I've never looked hard enough to find it, but it's gotta be realllllyyyy small I think. 21:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Word I heard was that it's the undersole, mocked-up to look like the surface of a star cruiser, or something, that passes in front of part of the screen during the dogfight over Endor. There's some kind of waffle-like pattern that's still distinguishable, but I haven't had much luck looking. And re. Lightman's reply, I believe the 'wardrobe malfunction' during Oola's fall into the Rancor pit was 'covered' in the Special Editions.Tocneppil 07:27, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Quotes?
Should Obi-Wan's quote about truths we cling to greatly depending on our own point of view be on the ROTJ page? If memory serves, it's an ANH quote. Milo fett 02:02, 29 September 2006 (UTC) I looked it up in "The Annotated Screenplays" and you're right. Milo fett 14:50, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure it's a ROTJ quote. Obi-Wan is telling Luke that Anakin was destroyed from a certain POV. Chack Jadson 19:09, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Iguana

 * Should there be a page for iguana? There's one for Onderonian iguana and jungle iguana but I believe one is seen on Dagobah. If someone gives me an opinion, I'll make the page. Chack Jadson 19:09, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Picture of the Jedi Spirits
Couldn't we please use one from the original original trilogy? It feels so wrong that Luke's father should be younger than he is himself. Evir Daal 10:51, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Speaking Navaho?
I have heard rumors that the ewoks are actually speaking navaho? Can anyone confirm or deny this?
 * See Ewokese. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Opening Crawl Differences
All movies have 2 sentences in the first paragraph except RotJ has 1 sentence and RotS has 4 (if War! is counted). All movies have 1 sentence in paragraphs 2 and 3. I've noted this in talk for all movies. -- anon, I'll register if I post again. 12:20 EST, December 28, 2006
