Han Solo, frozen in carbonite, has been delivered into the hands of the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt. Determined to rescue him, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Lando Calrissian launch a hazardous mission against Jabba’s Tatooine stronghold. Now, in the most exciting chapter of the STAR WARS saga, the Rebel commanders have gathered all the warships of the Rebel fleet into a single giant armada. And Darth Vader, who has ordered construction to begin on a new and even more powerful Death Star, makes his plans to crush the Rebel Alliance once and for all. 

Before I start this review, I need to say something. I’ve read this book in a collector’s edition which involves the original trilogy books in one big book. And I have decided to review each of these original trilogy books for itself because in that way each review will be shorter and easier to read rather than me giving you like 10 pages long review.

Return of the Jedi was always my favorite movie from the original star wars trilogy, so of course I had no other expectations for this novelizations of the return of the Jedi book. I have already reviewed “a new hope” and “the empire strikes back” novelizations of the original trilogy. And between all of those 3 novelizations this one was my favorite.

The plot in this book is the same as in the movie. There was a lot of action in this book as we could see in the movie. There aren’t any big differences between this book and the movie as the previous novelizations had, which wasn’t a big deal for me either way.

The characters in this book are as good and the same as we could see in the movie. But this book gives us their inner monologues and thoughts they had, which in a way this book gives us more insight into those characters which the movie didn’t give us. Which of course made me love this book so much more.

This book gives us also a lot of the Ewoks which made me love this book so much more, because I personally have the opinion of that we should have seen more of the Ewoks in the star wars movies because they are very good characters, and they are very underrated characters in my opinion.

The writing style in this book was more on the simple side of things, but it still was on the star wars theme level. The simple writing style in this book made it very easy and very quick to read this book because this book has around 180 pages which isn’t that long. Overall the writing style in this book was pretty decent, which isn’t a small task to do in a star wars book. 

Even thou this book doesn’t add much to the overall “return of the Jedi” timeline in star wars, I strongly believe that this book as the novelizations of “a new hope” and “the empire strikes back” are a must read for all star wars geeks and nerds as myself. Because those books gives us the inner monologues and thoughts of characters as the various events happen in the original trilogy. Which again gives us a deeper understanding of the characters we all know and love at this point.

I Give This Book 5 / 5
