Completing the larger film Lucas planned, this film closed the door on the ''StarWars'' film series until ''ThePhantomMenace''. Lucas still didn't direct, but did involve himself closer in the production this time.
[[CashCowFranchise The success of the first two films]] made the success of this one less of a worry. In fact, keeping the budget under control was one of the biggest issues. It turned out that locations were overcharging the production of ''TheEmpireStrikesBack'', knowing it was the next ''StarWars'' film. So the crew pretended to pitch the film to locations as a B horror movie, "Blue Harvest".
Other problems were creative. Lawrence Kasdan wanted a [[DownerEnding darker ending]]. HarrisonFord wanted Han to have a HeroicSacrifice (although that might have rendered the entire arc in Jabba's palace [[ShootTheShaggyDog meaningless]]).
After the film came out, critics were not as kind to the film's focus on more action than character, and many fans hated the [[TheScrappy Ewoks]]. The film was still a big hit and seen as a fitting conclusion to the saga. If nothing else, it ended the series with a lot of {{spectacle}}.

!!''The Return of the Jedi'' provides examples of:
* ActingUnnatural: During the approach to Endor in a stolen Imperial shuttle with a Star Destroyer watching their every move, Han tells Chewbacca: "I don't know... fly casual."
* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: Vader and Luke's verbal duel on Endor. In that scene, Luke shows just how much he has matured in how he can fight with logic and rhetoric against his father with as much skill as with his lightsaber to the point that ''Vader'' now has to fend off Luke's mind games.
* AerialCanyonChase: Flying into the Death Star, seeing as the ''Millennium Falcon'' is a rather skinny ship despite its width, whereas most Imperial fighters are as wide as they are tall.
* AgonyBeam: Force Lightning.
* AndIMustScream: This is pretty much the gist of what happens if you are eaten by the Sarlacc. To quote C-3PO:
--> '''C-3PO''': In its belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a... thousand years.
* AnimalMotifs: The director's commentary mentions that the window in Palpatine's room on the Death Star - you can see it in the background of this page's image - is designed to resemble a spider's web, because the Emperor is the plotter at the center.
* AntiVillain: Darth Vader essentially became one by the movie's second half. For one thing, it is hinted that his attempts to turn Luke to the Dark Side were as a means of protecting him (the only alternative was to kill him), and when mentioning that its too late for him to redeem himself, he seems to say it with a tinge of remorse.
* AnnoyingLaugh: Courtesy of Salacious B. Crumb (He's the tiny monkey-lizard creature that tries to steal 3PO's eyes at one point).
* AscendedExtra: This is a StarWars movie, after all, so pretty much any and every character who appears. Like the cantina crowd in the first film, the entourage in Jabba's palace [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tales_From_Jabba%27s_Palace had their stories told in the EU]].
** Likewise, Sarkli was only a background character of imperial officers at the Death Star. He eventually got more characterization in the EU, especially in [[RogueSquadron Rebel Strike]].
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Yoda, and then Anakin, are one with the Force.
* AttackPatternAlpha: All over the place during the Battle of Endor.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Han and Leia at the end of the film.
* BadassLongcoat: While Luke and Leia wear camouflage ponchos on Endor, Han gets a camouflage duster instead.
* BadBoss: Vader implies at one point that Palpatine's worse than him.
-->'''Vader:''' I hope you do, commander, for your sake. The Emperor is not nearly as forgiving as I am.
* BareYourMidriff: Leia's slave outfit.
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Obi-wan tells Luke this is the reason he must face Vader again. Also, Palpatine tells Luke it is his destiny to join the Dark Side.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Ewoks. To some extent, Mon Calamari too.
* BeyondTheImpossible: "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am." This from the guy who named the YouHaveFailedMe trope!
* BigBad: Emperor Palpatine.
* BigBadassBattleSequence: This is a Star Wars movie, after all.
* BigNever: Luke, when Vader threatens he will turn Leia to the Dark Side.
* BigNo: The new Blu-Ray edition of the film adds a "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" (supposedly as a retroactive callback to ''RevengeOfTheSith'') when Vader throws Palpatine into the pit.
* BondVillainStupidity: Jabba falls victim to this with the design of the Rancor Pit. Who puts the control for the door in a part a victim could get to? And designs it to come down fast enough to kill the Rancor?
** He then does this with deciding to feed the heroes to the sarlacc. After you've just failed to kill the hero in GladiatorGames fashion, it's best not to try doing it again immediately afterwards.
** Palpatine, definitely. Inviting the last remaining Jedi (ie. the only person who poses a threat to him) into his inner sanctum, then torturing him in front of his father ... while standing next to a bottomless chasm.
* BraidsOfAction: Leia, when she kills Jabba.
* [[spoiler: BuryYourDisabled]]: Darth Vader, [[spoiler: who was a quadriplegic and quadruple amputee only able to move and breathe due to cybernetic implants, which had been fried by Palpatine's Force lightning]].
* CallBack: "I love you." "I know."
* CardCarryingVillain: Palpatine is definitely this; in the first scene he appears in he discusses his oh-so-evil plans with his [[TheDragon most trusted servant]] and provides us with [[EvilLaugh plenty of cackling]].
* CaughtInASnare: Oh, those Ewoks.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the original film, 3PO says, "I'm not much more than an interpreter, and not very good at telling stories." Either he was being modest, or he got better at it in the years between the two films (or actually had some stories to tell), because he does a gripping-enough Ewokese retelling of the entire trilogy so far (complete with ''sound effects!'') that he gets the tribe to fight to the death on the side of the Alliance.
* TheChase / ChaseScene: Leia, Luke, Stormtroopers and [[DrivesLikeCrazy speeder bikes]].
* TheChessmaster: The Emperor.
--> "Everything that has transpired has done so according to ''my'' design!"
* CombatTentacles: The Sarlacc.
* ComeOutComeOutWhereverYouAre: Luke hiding from Vader during their final battle.
* ConvenientWeaknessPlacement: The Emperor's throne room is surrounded by tantalizing bottomless pits. Oops.
* CoolStarship: This entry in the series introduces several new ones; the Shuttle Tydirium, the A-Wing, the B-Wing, and various cruisers in the Rebel fleet.
* DavidVersusGoliath: The Rebel Alliance in general, but in particular, Rebel Fleet vs Super Star Destroyer. As he and his bridge crew watch the thing deorbit into the Death Star, Ackbar just flops into his chair, jaw agape, while everyone else cheers.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: The Emperor apparently explodes on impact after being thrown down the shaft at the climax of the film.
** Some EU materials, written before the Prequels, explain this as all of Palpatine's Dark Side energy exploding out of his body at the moment of his death.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Han to Jabba when the gangster demanded [[KneelBeforeZod they beg for mercy]].
** Jabba as well, though he didn't take the threat Luke posed seriously. His mistake.
* DeflectorShields: The new Death Star is protected by one.
** Right before the ''Executor'' goes down: [[OhCrap "Sir! We've lost our bridge deflector shield!"]]
* DenOfIniquity: Jabba's audience chamber, complete with conveniently-located Rancor pit.
* DiedHappilyEverAfter: Anakin, Yoda, and Obi-Wan.
* DidYouActuallyBelieve: Palpatine gives Luke this speech after revealing his baiting the Rebels' attack.
* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Palpatine, who also ''explodes'' on his way down]].
* DistinctiveAppearances: The reason why Luke's lightsaber blade is green in the finished cut of the film. In the early stages of {{rotoscoping}}, Luke's saber had a blue energy blade. However, his blue lightsaber didn't show up against the blue sky during the Tatooine sail barge battle. Changing the saber to green fixed the problem. The fact that the green blade is obviously brand-new (unlike the blue one, where it wasn't obvious) also allowed the deletion of an early scene in the film, where we would've seen Luke finishing work on his new lightsaber. Luke's blue saber can still be seen in the original trailers, plus all the poster art for the film.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Lando dresses as one of Jabba's guards to infiltrate the palace.
** On Endor, Han dresses as an Imperial soldier and request reinforcements to get the Imperial troops in the bunker to open it.
** Hard to see, but the bearded Rebel takes the captured scout trooper's armor.
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: Palpatine's all-too-obvious enjoyment of the ElectricTorture he administers to Luke.
* DyingAsYourself: Anakin's LastRequest to Luke.
-->''Luke, help me take this mask off. Just for once... I want to look on you with my own eyes.''
* ElectricTorture: Palpatine can do this with his hands.
* EnvironmentalSymbolism: The observation window behind Palpatine resembles, fittingly, a [[BigBad spider's web]].

* {{Fanservice}} / MsFanservice: Why else would you have Carrie Fisher laying around in a gold metal bikini?
** BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: WordOfGod says it's because Carrie Fisher had complained about how boring her wardrobe from the two previous films was. She would describe it as "what supermodels will eventually wear in the seventh ring of hell".
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: More than one writer has commented on the Vietnam parallels in the Battle of Endor, with [[RockBeatsLaser supposedly backwoods natives outsmarting a superior armed force.]]

* GodGuise: The Ewoks think 3PO is a god. Luke uses his Force powers to reinforce this idea.

-->'''Carrie Fisher''': What it is, is it doesn't adhere to your body. Boba Fett was standing behind me, and I'm laying there on Jabba the Hutt, and he can see [[http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=100094832 all the way to Florida]].
* GoodIsNotSoft: Farm boy Luke makes his introduction dressed in Sith style robes and force chokes Jabba's guards. This serves as a plot point in trying to get him to fall to TheDarkSide.
* GoOutWithASmile: Anakin's farewell to Luke.
* GrandFinale
* HandSignals: Luke's salute to [=R2D2=], as he is being made to WalkThePlank.

* HeroicSacrifice: Two. First, the Rebel pilot who [[spoiler:rams his fatally damaged craft into the Super Star Destroyer]]. Second, the more memorable [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn on Vader's part]].
* TheHyena: Salacious Crumb. You know, that [[BuffySpeak creepy little monkey thing]] that sits next to Jabba the Hutt.
* HyperspeedAmbush: The Rebel fleet comes out of hyperspace en masse near the Death Star II in order to surround it and cover the attack squadrons that will fly inside the half-constructed space station to destroy it. [[spoiler: The Imperial Fleet appears soon after to trap the Rebel fleet.]]
* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: This what Palpatine is counting on when he tells Luke to take back his lightsaber and [[StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred strike him down with all of his hatred]].
* IGotBetter: In the ExpandedUniverse, Boba Fett did not die in the Sarlacc Pit.
--> '''Fett''': The Sarlacc found me somewhat indigestible
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Luke and Vader's lightsaber duel.
--> '''Luke''': Your thoughts betray you, father. I feel the good in you ... the conflict.
* ImaginaryLoveTriangle: Han mistakenly thinks Leia is secretly in love with Luke, and is relieved to find out at the end that she was only upset from finding out they're twins and Vader is her father.
* InescapableNet: The Ewoks' trap.
* ISurrenderSuckers: C-3P0 and R2-D2 dupe a pack of stormtroopers into walking into an Ewok ambush.
* IncestIsRelative: Luke did not know. Leia apparently "always knew"... [[{{Squick}} yet she still kissed him, even if it was to tick off Han]].
** Although a very strong sexual attraction would not be unexpected. Check out [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_sexual_attraction Genetic Sexual Attraction]], a potentially very troubling phenomenon that can occur in situations like this one, which was first definitely identified as a general risk years after Jedi.
* IronicEcho: Vader does this to Luke during the IShallTauntYou portion of their duel.
-->'''Vader''': Yes ... your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong, especially for ... sister. So, you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her too.
* JediMindTrick: Jabba is immune. Bib Fortuna is not.
* TheJester: WordOfGod states that this is Salacious Crumb's position in Jabba's court. It's also implied that Jabba considered eating him had Crumb not managed to be amusing.
* LargeHam: Palpatine [[ChewingTheScenery chews the scenery]] with ''considerable'' flair during all of his scenes.
* LastOfHisKind: "Luke, when gone am I... the last of the Jedi will you be."
* LecherousLicking: Jabba gives Leia a slimy lick.
* LethallyExpensive: "Many Bothans died to bring us this information."
* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:Darth Vader]].
* LukeIAmYourFather: Leia was shocked to learn that Vader is Luke's father, but is more shocked when Luke tells her they're siblings. After he left to face him, Leia was in tears because: Darth Vader, the man who represents the evils of the Empire she's fighting against (and who has [[ANewHope tortured her]] and [[TheEmpireStrikesBack Han]]), is her father. [[IncestIsRelative And that the man she kissed was her brother.]]
* MadeOfExplodium: Jabba's barge deck, since it takes only one shot at it to make the entire barge combust.
-->'''Luke''': Point it at the deck!
* MeaningfulEcho: Han and Leia reverse the famous "I love you," "I know," from ''TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
** At the end of ''Empire'', Vader cuts off Luke's hand, signaling Luke's defeat by the Dark Side. At the end of this film, Luke cuts off ''Vader'''s hand... signaling that Luke is [[IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim dangerously close to succumbing to the Dark Side]]. (For bonus symbolism points, [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul Vader's hand is already cybernetic.]])
* MeaningfulFuneral: Luke gives Anakin a Jedi's funeral on Endor, cremating his armour.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Vader believes this at first.
-->"You don't know the power of the Dark Side. I must obey my master."
* NationsOfTheWorldMontage: At the end of the special edition, with the planets of the galaxy celebrating the downfall of the Empire. Naboo's celebration was added with the DVD release.
* NearVillainVictory: Palpatine says to Vader, "His [Luke's] compassion for you will be his undoing." [[EvilCannotComprehendGood Actually, it turns out to be his own undoing.]]
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: During Luke and Vader's duel, every time Luke gets more aggressive (and thus closer to the Dark Side), the Emperor gleefully points this out, causing Luke to [[SheatheYourSword step back and regain his composure]]. This happens several times during the duel.
** Soon the Emperor shuts up, allowing Vader to taunt Luke, finally unleashing his anger, but when Luke sees that he cut off Vader's hand, which Vader did to Luke in the previous movie, it was Vader who then fixed it for Luke at that time.
* NoMoreLies: Obi-Wan has no choice but to at last tell Luke the real truth on Dagobah.
* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Subverted in that it is heavily implied that the Empire figured out how Luke managed to destroy the first Death Star and redesigned the second one with thick anti-fighter defenses and no two meter wide exhaust port.
* NotSoDifferent: Luke realizes this upon seeing that he did the same thing to Vader that Vader did to him in the last movie, which shows him what he would become if he gave in to the Dark Side.
* OhCrap: Luke when the Rancor emerges.
** "[[MemeticMutation It's a]] ''[[MemeticMutation trap!]]''"
** Lando's "Well, how could they be jamming us if they don't know ... (dawning realization) ...if we're coming? Break off the attack! The shield is still up!"
** "Intensify forward firepower!" "TOO LATE!"
** "That blast came from the Death Star... That thing's operational!"
** "And now, young Skywalker ... ''[[ColdBloodedTorture you will die]].''
** "I know that laugh."
** "Intensify forward firepower! [[TemptingFate I don't want anything to get through!]]
*** "Too late!"
** Moff Jerjerrod in the beginning.
--> '''Jerjerrod''': [The Emperor] asks the impossible! I need more men!
--> '''Vader''': Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives.
--> '''Jerjerrod''': ''(shocked)'' The Emperor's coming here?
--> '''Vader''': That is correct, Commander. And he is ''most displeased'' with your apparent lack of progress.
--> '''Jerjerrod''': We shall double our efforts!
--> '''Vader''': I hope so, Commander, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.
** Han when the AT-ST walker approaches him.
* OneSceneWonder: This is a ''StarWars'' movie after all so pretty much any and every character who appears.
** Oola
** Bib Fortuna
** Salacious Crumb
** The Rancor
** The Sarlacc
** Mon Mothma
** General Madine
* OnlyAFleshWound: Leia gets pegged in the shoulder by an (unusually lucky) Stormtrooper blast.
* OutOfTheInferno / OutrunTheFireball: Done twice.
** The heroes escaping from Jabba's exploding sail barge on a skiff.
** The ''Millennium Falcon'', piloted by Lando, does both while outrunning the explosion from the reactor destroying the Death Star. The explosion blows out the exit first, but the Falcon emerges from it.
* TheOtherMarty: [[spoiler:Anakin]]'s Force ghost in the special edition [=DVDs=].
* ThePaidForHarem: The slave girls in Jabba's palace
* PapaWolf: Vader, proving he wasn't beyond hope.
* PetTheDog: The Rancor keeper's inconsolable reaction to Luke killing the monster, although more played for laughs, managed to garner a bit more sympathy than expected. As RogerEbert said, "Everybody loves somebody."
* PleaseWakeUp: The [[TearJerker depressing]] scene during the fight on Endor when one Ewok is shot dead and another one (most likely its sibling/spouse/child) comes up to it, crying and pushing the dead one to wake up. Many a tear was shed for this scene, and at least momentarily, [[AlasPoorScrappy we forget that we hate the Ewoks with a passion]].
* PigMan: Jabba's Gammorean guards.
* ProudWarriorRace: The Ewoks.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Wicket the Ewok.
* PsychopathicManchild: Jabba.
* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: Twice, actually. The gang reunites on [[GoBackToTheSource Tatooine]] to save Han, and later they formally get back together for Han's planned strike against the shield generator on the forest moon of Endor.
* RageBreakingPoint: Luke really tries not to let his anger get in the way when he's confronting Vader, but Vader then threatens to take the last of his family from him.
--> '''Vader:''' If ''you'' will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps ''she'' will.
--> '''Luke''' ''[igniting his lightsaber]:'' '''''NEVER!'''''
--> ''[cue the CurbstompBattle]''
* RailingKill: An Imperial officer in the shield generator room.
* RapunzelHair: Leia, when she takes her hair down on Endor.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Luke gets one from Palpatine while undergoing his electro-shock therapy.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Darth Vader.
* TheReveal: Obi-Wan revealing that Luke and Leia are brother and sister.
** Also, a confirmation of the reveal in the previous film when Yoda tells Luke (and the audience) the Vader is indeed his father.
* RefugeInAudacity: You have to give Luke credit, he told Jabba he would die unless he let them go...
* RelativeButton: Luke lost most of his family, either dead or turned evil. His sister is all he has left, so threatening to take her away is the one thing that sets him off.
* RescuedFromPurgatory: Rescuing Han Solo.
* RightHandAttackDog: The rancor.
* RockBeatsLaser: The Ewoks versus the stormtroopers.
* RocketRide: The speeder bikes.
* SeeTheWhitesOfTheirEyes: "Yes, I said ''closer''! Move as close as you can, and engage those Star Destroyers at point-blank range!"
* SelfRestraint: Luke surrenders himself to the Imperials in order to meet Vader, letting himself be bound.
* SeparatedAtBirth: Luke and Leia discover this.
* SharkPool: The Rancor pit and the Sarlacc pit.
* SchmuckBait: Chewie paws at a hanging slab of meat, triggering an Ewok trap net which entangles himself, Han, Luke, R2-D2 ''and'' Threepio. Outstanding.
-->'''Han:''' [[SarcasmMode Great, Chewie! Great!]] Always thinking with your stomach!
* SheatheYourSword: Luke attempts to do this during his fight with Vader as Palpatine reminds him that as he becomes more aggressive he shifts more towards the Dark Side.
* ShootTheMessenger: Jabba thumps Threepio whenever he translates a response he doesn't like. Also implied in the earlier comment: "We have need of a new protocol droid after his excellency got angry at the last one and disintegrated him."
* SlaveCollar: Princess Leia is forced to wear a collar by Jabba the Hutt. At one point he yanks her around by a chain attached to the collar: she later uses the chain to strangle him.
* SmugSnake:
** It is a key theme in this movie that Palpatine's arrogance is his weakness. Though he does pull a pretty good trick of giving the rebels the location of the shield generator to lure them into a trap, he simply is too arrogant to anticipate that the Rebels could overcome it.
** Jabba the Hutt. Han offered money instead of his captivity and Jabba refused to listen; when Leia and Luke warned Jabba that they could defeat him, Jabba and his minions did not take them seriously at all. Even when being led to the Sarlacc Pit Luke said "free us, or die." Jabba still refused to listen, and he and his minions still refused to take Luke seriously. Jabba was offered so many warnings, and so many opportunities for alternatives that for him to keep ignoring them made his KarmicDeath all the more satisfying.
* SpaceBase / SpaceStation: The second Death Star.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The Emperor would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling Ewoks, and Chewie's brilliant idea to hijack one of the walkers. That's the real turning point of the ground battle (which trickle downed to the space battle when the generator went up in flames).
* SpikesOfDoom: The Sarlacc Pit has spikes around its edges.
* StandardSciFiFleet: This is the first time we see the full Rebel fleet.
* StandardStarshipScuffle: The Battle of Endor starts out more as a Battle of Midway-style melee, with snub fighters attacking the enemy capital ships, but once the Death Star cranks up its superlaser the Rebel cruisers have no choice but to go in and engage the Imperial Star Destroyers toe-to-toe so that at least the Death Star can't get a clear shot at them. The novelization sort of lampshades it; there's a line to the effect that the opposing capital ships are now exchanging broadsides at point-blank range like the oceangoing vessels of another time and place.
* StandYourGround: As Lando convinces Ackbar the rebels have to do until the team on Endor gets the Death Star's DeflectorShields down.
* StopWorshippingMe: It's against C-3PO's programming to impersonate a deity.
* [[StormingTheCastle Storming The Shield Generator]]
* SufferTheSlings: Ewoks use them.
* SuicidalGotcha: Luke vs. the Sarlacc.
* SwordOverHead: After Luke defeats Vader, he notices his father's mechanical hand (much like his own) and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realizes how close he's coming to suffering the same fate.]]
* TactfulTranslation: 3P0 tries to provide one for Jabba, but it's difficult to reason with him.
* TakingYouWithMe: The doomed A-wing pilot flying his own ship into the bridge of the Executor.
** Lando's reasoning for engaging the Star Destroyers at close range.
--> '''Lando''': Yes, I said closer. Move as close as you can, and engage those Star Destroyers at point blank range.
--> '''Ackbar''': At that close range, we won't last long against those Star Destroyers.
--> '''Lando''' We'll last longer than we will against that Death Star, and we may just take some of them with us.
** In the novelization, Lando says that the Death Star can't fire at them without hitting their own ships.
* TastesLikeFriendship: Leia and Wicket.
* TellMeAboutMyFather: Luke asking Leia about their mother.
* TemptingFate: Lando promises Han that the ''Falcon'' "won't get a scratch!". On the way into the Death Star the Falcon's communication dish is knocked off. Han even remarks on it in EU books.
** Also Han commenting "I hate long waits" and "That doesn't sound so bad", before being told he's up for an incredibly long and excruciating death by Sarlaac.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: When Luke pretends to jump into the Sarlaac pit, and then starts attacking the guards.
* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: When the Emperor dies (including the NationsOfTheWorldMontage in the Special Edition).
* TookALevelInBadass:
** Luke, yet again. When we see him for the first time in his DarkIsNotEvil get-up and coolly demands "You will bring Captain Solo and the Wookiee to me", we know right away this is not the same green and reckless Luke from ''Empire''.
** While Leia was badass as early as her detention center escape in Episode IV, this movie sees her bluff Jabba with a thermal detonator, choke him to death, and help lead the ground assault on Endor.
** Discounting the prequels, R2 takes one as he now has a taser and uses it on that little muppet rat Jabba keeps around, not to mention the Ewok who frees him.
* TrapDoor: Jabba uses one to drop people into the Rancor pit.
* TribalCarry: When the protagonists are captured by the Ewoks -- with the exception of C-3PO, who get a comfortable palanquin chair since they believe he's a god.
* TurnTheOtherFist: Luke Skywalker seems to turn away from the Emperor's taunting but suddenly swings back to grab his saber and take a slash at him. Darth Vader blocks it.
* UnderCrank: Used to create the backgrounds for the speeder bike chase.
* UnstoppableRage: Luke defeating Vader after he suggests that Leia might be turned the dark side in Luke's stead.
* UnwantedFalseFaith: The Ewoks mistake C-3PO for a deity, much to his embarrassment.
* VillainousDemotivator
-->'''Darth Vader''': I hope so Commander, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.
* VillainsNeverLie: GeorgeLucas said that the reason Luke sought Yoda to confirm Vader's revelation was because discussing with a psychologist he learned that most people would assume that Vader ''was'' lying, and it was all just mind games. Luke needed a respected figure to get proof.
** James Earl Jones reports that, when he got the line, his first thought was, "Oh, [Vader's] lying!"
* WalkThePlank: The way for prisoners to be fed to the Sarlacc.
* {{Watch Out for That Tree}}: Important to remember when you're on an ultra fast speeder bike flying through an incredibly thick forest. Also, don't turn around to check behind you, as one of the scout-troopers learned the hard way.
* WaveMotionGun / KillSat: The Death Star II
* WeCanRuleTogether: Emperor Palpatine to Luke.
--> '''Palpatine''': Your hate has made you powerful. And now, fulfill your destiny, and take your father's place at my side.
* WeNeedADistraction: The Rebels do this several times on Endor, including the two droids.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Vader.
* XRaySparks: Rare non-humorous example. [[spoiler: When Vader lifts Palpatine over his head to save Luke, he's hit with Force Lightning, revealing flashes of his skull]].
* YouRebelScum: An Imperial {{mook}} says this when the Rebels are captured during their raid on the shield generator.
* YourLittleDismissiveDiminutive: When Palpatine is trying to provoke Luke.
-->'''Palpatine''': It was ''I'' who [[spoiler:allowed the Alliance to know the location of the shield generator]]. It is quite safe from your pitiful little band.
* AndYourLittleDogToo:
-->'''Vader''': If you will not turn the Dark Side, then ''perhaps she will.''
-->'''Luke''': [[BigNever NEVER!]]
