Star Wars: Return of The Jedi - MODERN TRAILER | 4K (40th Anniversary)

[@ADedits9]

Went for another spoiler free misdirect vibe trailer. I made Luke seem to be training with Vader, and that there is maybe another Jedi Luke discovers - I DID NOT show the Emperor, the Death Star, or Han Solo on PURPOSE. I hope you all Enjoyed :) HAPPY 40th Anniversary Return of The Jedi!!! - ALL MY OTHER MODERN TRAILERS: kzbin.info/aero/PLvXjubqkMdiAOTQxLU6tuVU7ADXczqbJQ

A good cut. There is ONE CHANGE I would suggest. The first shot of Boba Fett, put him when he's giving the nod to Bosch instead of flirting with the girls. Build on his mystique and toughness. The flirt is an emotional tempo offset at that moment in the trailer and I feel lessens his "cool factor" when I finally see him again taking aim. Just my two bits....all in all a good clipping :D

[@comicon-trailers-n-talks42069]

The ending celebration music in this movie is so underrated, and it was so cool to hear it dramatized for this trailer

[@michaeldemocko443]

I watched it last night on the big screen. There are definitely times when it looks like a 40 year old movie, but the heart of it is still as strong as ever. I took my 12 year old son, he'd never seen it, and he loved it. That's all that matters.

​@@michaeldemocko443Thanks for the heads-up! Now I know that I need to sit through Jedi Rocks in 4K with surround sound 💀 Very excited to see ROTJ in theaters though! I'm going with my girlfriend and her sister who hasn't seen this one yet (has seen IV and V) today and then with a good friend of mine for Star Wars Day on the 4th. We're going in Jedi robes hahaha

Exactly the same! Except that my child is 10 rather than 12. I am 37 and never had a chance to see this in theatres, not even the 1997 special edition. Felt like a kid again.

[@bigdreams5554]

Saw it last night on a big PLF screen Awesome. The practical effects hold up even today. The ones that look dated are the ones Lucas added for the Special Edition rerelease.

I went to watch this in theaters for their anniversary re-release. And my god what a feeling it was to watch such a defining movie in theaters like the way it was nearly 40 years ago. Spectacular experience. Makes me appreciate this franchise more and more with every new and old piece of content

Your track is class man! Gotta trust your judgement ;) It was an interesting edit. It was all spoilers at first but then I am like the track feels grandios enough to be an official spoiler free vibe.. So I went with that and it seems to be pretty solid I hope haha.

[@piledriver7238]

You did something I imagined they should have done to introduce Episode 7, the Endor Celebration Theme!! This theme is criminally underrated, underused and under appreciated! I literally got goosebumps and chills. It is such a fitting theme for not only Episode 6, but they could have used it throughout the sequel trilogy, or at least for the beginning of Episode 7 (orchestral version). Anyway, thank you very much for this and your understanding of proper Star Wars storytelling, and your recognition of important Star Wars themes!!

[@monsieurcommissaire1628]

Great work. I know that for some, this is their least favourite of the Trilogy, but I love it above all others. It shows, for the first time, Luke as the absolute badass he was becoming, far away from the whiny but likeable farm boy we first met. His titanic courage in willingly facing both his father and Sidious, knowing it would most likely be a one-way trip, is truly inspiring. It shows the triumphant return, brief and bittersweet though it was, of Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight, as he finally destroys the hated Emperor. Ok, ok, and we get to see the beautiful Carrie Fisher ( rest in peace, dear Princess.) not wearing very much. Long live "Return of tge Jedi!"
