Star Wars Return of the Jedi Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Premiere Magazine's movie screenplays tend to be a bit plain & straightforward-looking, yet eye-catching at the same time. Depending on whether or not the movie is considered a classic or `popular', the color of the thin posterboard-stock cover will be black or red (the latter being the case for the ROTJ script), respectively. The writing on the cover & spine is in gold foil. The front cover is a die-cut, with the movie's release one-sheet poster featured in the void. Although the die-cut gives the script an attractive look, it tends to get caught up on the edges of the other books on my shelf when I put it away, which can lead to wrinkling and tearing of the cover. So needless to say, I gotta make sure there's a decent space between books when I put this away.
The Script itself is printed in the basic screenplay typeset and format, with each page printed on one side only. The typeface isn't too bold, and can be hard to read at times. The back of the book includes all of the movies (up to 1994) the main cast members have appeared in, as well as four color & four B/W photo reproductions from the movie. I was somewhat disappointed by the kinds of photos included with the ROTJ script- they're the rather plain & very common publicity stills that have been seen many times over in endless other Star Wars publications. I was kinda hoping for some `new' pics, but I guess I'm just S.O.L. in that department...
Aside from `Return of the Jedi', there are also Premiere scripts of the first two pre-SE `Star Wars' flicks, the Star Trek movies from II through VI, The Indiana Jones Trilogy, Rocky, The Wizard of Oz, and many others. If you've a fave movie that's considered a classic, or a popular modern release from the 80s or earlier, there's a good chance that Premiere magazine published a script of it. Unfortunately, they've all been out of print for several years now, which means you're gonna hafta do some big-time hunting if you want to get the Premiere screenplay of your fave flick. More power to you...
One last thing: this particular script is of the original ROTJ. Check out the `Return of The Jedi Script Facsimile' if you're looking for a somewhat similar presentation of the Special Edition screenplay.
