Question 1

What is the ending of Star Wars Episode 6 Return of the Jedi?

Accepted Answer

The finale of 'Return of the Jedi' is this glorious, messy explosion of redemption and hope. Luke finally confronts Vader and the Emperor aboard the Death Star, and man, that throne room scene? Chills. Palpatine’s zapping Luke with Force lightning, Vader’s just standing there like a conflicted statue—until he isn’t. Something snaps, and he hurls the Emperor down that reactor shaft. It’s this wild moment where love wins, even for someone as far gone as Vader. Then the Death Star blows up (again), the Ewoks throw a rave in the forest, and the galaxy collectively sighs in relief. But what sticks with me is Luke burning Vader’s armor on Endor—like, he’s mourning the father he barely knew, not the monster. The whole thing’s bittersweet, but man, that shot of the Force ghosts smiling? Perfect.

And let’s not forget the side stuff—Han and Leia finally acknowledging their thing, Lando and Wedge pulling off that insane trench run, even Jabba’s palace feels like a grimy prelude to the main event. It’s a ending that somehow balances cheese, heart, and spectacle. Also, ewoks. So many ewoks.

Question 2

How did Return of the Jedi Episode 6 end originally?

Accepted Answer

The original ending of 'Return of the Jedi' is this beautiful, triumphant crescendo after the chaos of the Battle of Endor. Luke finally redeems his father, Darth Vader, by refusing to kill him and appealing to the good left in him. When the Emperor tortures Luke with Force lightning, Vader turns against Palpatine, throwing him into the Death Star’s reactor shaft. It’s such a visceral moment—Vader’s mask comes off, and we see this frail, dying man who whispers to Luke with his last breath. The Death Star explodes, the Rebels celebrate on Endor, and we get that iconic shot of Luke burning Vader’s armor on a pyre, symbolizing Anakin’s return to the light.

Then there’s the jubilant Ewok party, with the entire galaxy rejoicing. The final scene shows Luke, Leia, Han, and the others smiling as the ghosts of Obi-Wan, Yoda, and a redeemed Anakin Skywalker appear. It’s this perfect blend of victory and melancholy—knowing the Empire is defeated but also acknowledging the cost. The music swells, the credits roll, and you’re left feeling like you just witnessed something epic. I still get chills thinking about it, especially Anakin’s ghost smiling at Luke. It’s the kind of ending that makes you want to rewatch the whole trilogy immediately.

Question 3

Who dies in Return of the Jedi Episode 6?

Accepted Answer

The climactic moments of 'Return of the Jedi' hit hard with some major character losses. Darth Vader’s redemption arc reaches its peak when he sacrifices himself to save Luke, throwing Emperor Palpatine into the Death Star’s reactor. That iconic scene where he removes his mask? Chills every time. And let’s not forget Jabba the Hutt—Luke and Leia’s rescue mission ends with him getting strangled by Leia (badass moment) and the Rancor being crushed by a gate. Even Boba Fett, the fan-favorite bounty hunter, meets his (temporary) demise in the Sarlacc pit. The film’s emotional core is Vader’s death, though—watching Luke burn his armor on Endor still gets me.

On a lighter note, the Ewoks celebrate their victory, but the losses weigh heavy. Yoda’s off-screen death earlier in the film sets the tone, and the Rebel Alliance pays its dues with pilots during the Death Star battle. It’s a mix of triumph and tragedy, really—Star Wars wouldn’t be the same without those stakes.

Question 4

How did Star Wars Episode VI Return of the Jedi end?

Accepted Answer

Man, what an ending! After all the chaos—the Death Star battle, Luke facing Vader—it just clicks into this perfect emotional crescendo. Luke refuses to kill his father, even when Palpatine’s zapping him to near death. That moment when Vader finally snaps, tosses the Emperor into the abyss? Chills. Then the helmet comes off, and we see Anakin’s broken face. It’s raw, quiet, just them and the music. The funeral pyre later feels like closure, but also this weird melancholy—like yeah, the Empire’s toast, but at what cost? And then the Ewok party! Tonally wild, but after the darkness, those fuzzy little rebels dancing around fires somehow works. Makes the whole galaxy feel alive again.

What sticks with me, though, is Luke burning Vader’s armor. Not just a victory—it’s him letting go. The last shot of the Force ghosts smiling? Cheesy, maybe, but after three movies, seeing Anakin redeemed and young again… hits different. Makes you wonder if he’s finally at peace, or if the Jedi even understand what ‘peace’ really means.
