I recently listened to the radio dramas for the Original Trilogy and really enjoyed the additional scenes and alternate takes on many of the scenes I am so familiar with. I wanted to see what one of these scenes would look like in the movie so I made this.
First broadcast on public radio in 1996, the Return of the Jedi radio drama was the third installment of the radio dramas created for the original Star Wars trilogy. While the first two in the trilogy were produced by National Public Radio, the third was actually produced by Highbridge Audio, the company that had released the first two series on tape and CD (I credited NPR in the credits but that is an error on my part).
This one was not quite as enjoyable as the first two and the cast didn't feature Mark Hamill as Luke like the first two did, but I still thought it was interesting to edit this to see a very different version of the return of Anakin Skywalker to the light side.
