Description
"These are grim times for the Rebel Alliance. Han Solo is in the hands of the vile Jabba the Hutt. The Jedi Master Yoda grows weak. Emperor Palpatine is determined to turn Luke to the dark side. And Darth Vader nears completion of a new dreaded Death Star even more powerful than the first. To avert certain doom, the rebels head to the forest moon of Endor-- but will the native Ewoks be friends or foes? Before the Battle of Endor begins, Princess Leia faces dramatic revelations. And when Luke show more surrenders to Vader, the fate of the galaxy may rest on the ultimate father/son confrontation!"--Page [4] of cover. show lessTags

The comic adaptation of Return of the Jedi has only four issues, rather than the six for the two previous films. The action sequences, which are after all the main point, are well done.
In general I approve of the tightening up, yet I felt that we skipped a couple of interesting points here; most notably the ghost scene at the end with the shades of Anakin, Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi is absent, and though it's a bit silly I felt it gave closure to the story.
