Hey how does "return of the jedi" end?
I was watching that last nite on TV but was too tired to stay up and see it. I stopped watching after teh shield came down
The shield goes down, Lando and the best of the rest chase down into the unfinished death star. Meanwhile, on Tatooine, the Ewooks realise that Han and his fellows only used them to win the battle against the Empire and start a revolt, killing Han (a very dramatic scene, he dies while saving princess Leia).
Luke, Leia and Chewbacca manage to flee on those kewl speeder bikes, but Luke gets shot down by an AT-AT, one of those four legged walkers from Episode 5, and is then brought to Vader and the Emperor, aboard the new Death Star. The Imperial troops reclaim the shield emitter, quickly repair and restore the shield, so Lando and the rest are effectively trapped in the Death Star. Now the really cool part begins. Luke starts to battle Darth Vader and the Emperor, but is too weak, nearly looses. Seconds before the Emperor can land his final blow, Lando and the Falcon smash through the top and drop some Killa-Ewoks (who are still on the side of the Rebellion...quite confusing if you watch it the first time) which distract the Emperor and Darth Vader by making funny noises. Luke gets his light saber and quickly kills the Emperor. He tries to save his father, Darth, but he is too heavily injured from the battle against Luke and dies...he is then carried away by the Killa-Ewoks...I think they built a muppet or something from him for the end sceremony.
Luke enters the Falcon and they manage to find the core of the Death Star. Like throws his lightsaber out of the Falcon directly into the core and destroys the Death star. Meanwhile, the Leia returned to Endor with some more Rebells and once again dropped the shield (that's the part where I found the plot was to "constructed") so Lando, this funny little guy with the big, black eyes (a Sullust, by the way) and Luke escape, Darth dead, Emperor dead, Luke alive, everybody happy, big sceremony...
AND EVERYBODY WHO CLAIMS SOMETHING DIFFERENT IS A BIG FAT LIAR!
