Return of the Jedi
Ah, the culmination of the trilogy. Forget the lightsabers, bounty hunters, and those godforsaken ewoks. This is a simple story of a father and son, a relationship previously explored in Empire, but moreso in a foreboding sense, whetting one's appetite even more for this film's spectacular conclusion.
The foreplay before the final battle is almost too much to bear, but just as we are about to write Luke off as a one-hundred-percent-USDA-Grade-A pussy, he embarks on a battle for the ages... back and forth Luke and Vader duel, trading one psychological blow after another, their sabres intersecting rhythmically to a pounding John Williams score. This isn't combat. This is gay sex.
As Luke triumphs over his father, he rejects the destiny befallen him at the Emporers side and chooses the higher ground. Then comes the kicker, "I am a Jedi Knight like my father before me," he defiantly pronounces, a phrase practically suicidal to recite in the Emporers presence. Ain't that a bitch? Luke still loves his dad, the 2nd most evil man in the universe who was trying to kill him 5 minutes ago!
Luke spends this entire film desparately searching for the good in his father that everyone else has given up on. I know exactly how he feels, and not just because he's clad in black throughout the most of it.
