Star Wars VI

Luke Skywalker y la princesa Leia deben viajar a Tatooine para liberar a Han Solo. Para conseguirlo, deben infiltrarse en la peligrosa guarida de Jabba the Hutt, el gángster más temido de la galaxia. Una vez reunidos, el equipo recluta a tribus de Ewoks para combatir a las fuerzas imperiales en los bosques de la luna de Endor. Mientras tanto, el Emperador y Darth Vader conspiran para convertir a Luke al lado oscuro, pero el joven Skywalker, por su parte, está decidido a reavivar el espíritu del Jedi en su padre. La guerra civil galáctica culmina en un último enfrentamiento entre las fuerzas rebeldes unificadas y una segunda Estrella de la Muerte, indefensa e incompleta, en una batalla que decidirá el destino de la galaxia.

The Empire is more than halfway through construction of a new Death Star - almost twice as big, but more than twice as powerful. When completed, it will spell certain doom for Luke Skywalker and the Rebels. Han Solo is a prisoner of crime lord Jabba the Hutt, and Princess Leia soon finds herself in the gangster's hands. Luke Skywalker, aided by C-3PO and R2-D2, makes his way into Jabba's palace, hoping to secure his friends' freedom. But the Hutt has no intention of doing so and tries to kill them all. After escaping from Jabba and the sands of Tatooine, they regroup with the Rebel fleet, which is massing for an attack against the new satellite battle station at Endor. Lando Calrissian is pressed into action to lead the Rebel fighter attack, while Han is put in charge of a group of soldiers to take out the shield generator protecting the Death Star. Luke, however, surrenders to Vader's soldiers on Endor, and is taken in front of Vader's boss - the Galactic Emperor - on the Death Star for final corruption to the Dark Side of the Force. The fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers ambushes the Rebels, cutting them off. Worse, the new Death Star begins turning its giant laser on the Rebel carriers. It appears that nothing will stop the Empire's triumph - unless things start to change quickly...

La tercera -y más floja- de la mítica aventura galáctica de Luke Skywalker y sus amigos de la República en su lucha contra el Imperio. A pesar de todo, esta entrega aclara aspectos fundamentales de la saga de Lucas y mantiene su apabullante despliegue de efectos especiales. Muy entretenida. (Pablo Kurt)
