Happy Silver Anniversary, Return of the Jedi!

25 years after the finale that wasn't quite final...

Twenty-five years ago today (and six years after the original Star Wars opened) the summer movie season of 1983 blew wide open with the finale to the Star Wars saga -- if you don't count the re-releases, the three movie prequels, the multiple animated series, the books, the comics, oh, you get the idea.

And what do we remember from the film? Do we remember the escape from the Sarlaac? Do we remember the light saber duel between (spoiler) father and son? Do we remember Leia's slave girl outfit?

Well, of course we remember the outfit. But we also remember the true heroes of the film, as memorialized here:

I think I speak for everyone here at ComicMix when I say, "yub yub".
