Played by: xRavenXP
A LONG TIME AGO, IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY! PART 3!
This is a longplay of game Super Star Wars - Return of The Jedi, sometimes also called Super Return of The Jedi for some people. Is a run and gun released for the Super Nintendo in North America on June 22, 1994, Europe on March 30, 1995 and in Japan on June 23, 1995. It is the third and final game in the Super Star Wars trilogy and is based on the 1983 film Return of the Jedi.
This game follows the same style of its predecessors, there are platform stages and stages to pilot the ships, the soundtrack and graphics were quite improved, in addition to playing with Luke now you can now play with the character Leia Organa (which has different clothes and weapons at each stage), and Han Solo, Chewie and Wicket! And this game ends the classic Star Wars trilogy on the SNES with golden key, one this trilogy one of the rare examples of good movie-based games.
Played on Jedi Difficult with core improvements in cutscenes and sounds (Bizhawk)! May be force be with you! -

You make this look easy. I can remember struggling as a kid just to get to the speeder bike stage since that was my favorite part of the movie.

[@siggylloyd3566]

That's cuz it's played on an emulator. Snes had too much lag for it to come from there.

[@Anonymous-ob6bs]

He's probably using a TAS (Tool Assisted Speedrun). It's basically an AI that can just blow through most of the game as fast as possible.

[@cigoLxeL]

@@Anonymous-ob6bs I dunno, I wasn't _this_ good, but I beat it as a kid just fine, no tool-assist needed. It's no cakewalk, but it's a lot easier than _Super Empire._

Took me hours to figure out you had to boost to make the jumps.

I’m over tearing up because this game is a core memory. This was fun to watch

[@Sephiga]

This was the game that made me fall in love with star wars before I even saw the movies. I got this game when I was around 4 years old and struggled so much for a long time with the speeder level. When i finally got past it, i struggled so much with Jaba's Palace. I would watch that game over screen over and over again, with palpatine's creepy face taunting and laughing at me. I would sit at the title screen after a game over, getting to see glimpses of some future levels this game had to offer. There was so much mystery of what was to come. So much I was afraid of, but tried my best to overcome and never could. Even to this day I dont think I have made it that far in this game. Years later, when I was maybe around 9 or 10, I made the attempt to play again and finally triump over Jaba's palace and the levels after that. Never made it past Endor's imperial base. I found it too difficult. But i said all of that to say, holy shit who ever is playing this is making my years of attempts look infantile. I may try this game again in the near future. It came across my mind quickly and im glad I searched it up on YT and found this video. This game was truly ahead of its time. Glad there were so many others that got to enjoy this gem on the SNES. May 4th just ended, but May the 4th be with you!

Wow just wow, such a feeling of memory watching you play these. The aesthetics and gameplay are just something special, when you start each level some rusty gears in my brain start turning again, essentially Luke in tatooine

[@Polymorphidz]

At 53:00 we can see the best TIE fighter pilots in the history of Star Wars media. Not only are they able to fly backwards in an extremely narrow space, they are able to do so faster than the Millennium Falcon can move forwards in that same space while engaging in a fire fight. If the movie TIE pilots had been that talented then the Empire would have won.

[@doddsino]

56:24 For those who came to see how it's done. Here's my recommendation on how to beat it; Obviously hold B the entire time, make sure you're adjusting with the L and R button knowing which direction you'll need to when entering a new corridor, and whatever you do, do NOT use the Up and Down buttons on the control pad, only use left and right when avoiding the barrier walls.

[@Josh-ql1zi]

I like how Luke can fight the Emperor in this game. In the movie he doesn't and he just lets himself get electrocuted.

[@WhiteFangofWar]

A step down in difficulty after the durasteel-tough Super Empire Strikes Back, but that's likely a good choice; I enjoyed this one far more. Gotta love Leia taking down the entire sail barge crew including Jabba with nothing but a chain and a bikini XD

[@DrownedInExile]

She was clearly channelling her inner Belmont with that chain-whip!

They were 3 great games on the SNES!!! At the time the graphics, sounds and gameplay were amazing and me and my mates spent entire weekends staying at each other’s houses trying to finish them........great memories. They don’t look too bad today considering they are 27 years old.........shiiiiiit just googled that and I was 10 at the time. Glad I was old enough to appreciate them when they were released.

[@johnm84]

Yes I remember playing the star wars games on super nintendo back in the 90s. They were great and fun games to play.

[@DrownedInExile]

Leia is apparently channelling her inner Belmont with that chain-whip!

[@joylesstiger]

I have such a warm fuzzy nostalgic feeling about these games, which is strange because I was constantly frustrated from getting beat down while playing them! I'm not sure if I beat any of them! Great to see you crush this one! Things were looking a little hairy on the surface of the death star but I had faith in you!

[@joseluki]

These games could have been some of the SNES greatest but the all around difficulty and the ridiculous amount of health on bosses is just pure ebola, just so people were unable to ever beat them in rentals, the difficulty level and frustration in these games is just stupid. Sad, because the graphics, music, animations and art direction is fantastic.

[@vincenthammons6705]

I beat them all myself once you got the hang of it, it gets easier, now if we talking about nintendo games there are a lot I never beat

[@jekw23]

Same here, I got furthest in Super Star Wars….actually got into the Death Star. The other two did not get far at all but loved playing them all the same. Great looking but very unforgiving

[@jeenkzk5919]

I think I beat this when I rented it at release. Super Star Wars revived my interest in the trilogy along with the Timothy Zahn books. I played it for the flight stages and when I dueled with Vader. Possibly the first time one could feel like a Jedi. Definitely the best XWing stages up to that point since I couldn’t afford a PC to play the XWing series.

[@Zeithri]

Something similar yeah. Rented it as a kid and was the only one of the Super Star Wars games I was able to complete. Flying the ships was a true joy.

[@odrylima4538]

[@vivaelgato4541]

Ah yes when Chewie fought the Rancor was my favorite part in the movie! =P. In all serious though. Loved these games as a kid. Personally I felt Empire Strikes Back was the hardest and my favorite of the SNES Super Star Warseses. The fight with Big D-Vade at the end was soooooooo hard!

I played this forever ago when it was new. I remember thinking the music was awesome for the game, and the controls were better then the older ones, but I don't remember how or why. I do recall though, that at the end area, with the red royal guards and Vader, something dropped a Thermal Detonator in a very opportune place and the stage was suddenly beaten. I don;t recall the specifics, but I do remember my younger brothers and me yelling with excitement about the "grenade" and then laughing for several minutes when it worked in our favor so impossibly well. That was many, many years ago, and one of my few memories from this trilogy besides button mashing Han's blaster pistol
