Star Wars: ROTJ
The book Star Wars: Return of the Jedi was the novelization of the movie series Star
Wars. It was written by James Kahn and offered little difference but a bit more insight. There were
more vivid explanations of some of the events and a tiny bit more of character portrayal. The book was
written around the same time as the movies release but the story concept had some parallels with the
Cold War as it was written in that era. The story takes place in a galaxy said to be very far away where a
civil war rages against the dominant Galactic government: The Empire. Luke Skywalker is the son of the
Empires evil enforcer Darth Vader and works alongside his new friends to defeat him. The Empire has a
mighty weapon that must be destroyed and the only way to do that is to attack a small moon that
shields the Death Star. Initially they are sidetracked and captured by natives but after their companion is
mistaken for a deity amongst the people, the natives join forces with the heroes. The heroes lead an
attack against the overconfident Empire forces and destroy the shield in time for the rebel fleet to
destroy the core of the Death Star. Meanwhile Luke had turned himself into Darth Vader and met his
evil master, The Emperor. The Emperor tempts Luke to abandon his hopeless mission and turn to evil
like his father but Luke looks to his love for his friends to deny the Dark Side pulling on him. The
Emperor, angered and disappointed attempts to kill Luke but is stopped by Darth Vader who, finally
having seen enough suffering, kills his evil master and redeems himself but not without suffering some
mortal injuries. With their leadership dead the remaining Imperial forces are mopped up with ease, and
the restoration of the Galaxy has begun. The recurring theme in the story of Star Wars is that there is
always a tiny light in the biggest darkness and there is only
