It’s May the Fourth, and Born to Watch is celebrating with a return to Endor, Jabba’s Palace, and one of the most nostalgic finales in cinema history, Return of the Jedi (1983).
This week, the crew closes out the original Star Wars trilogy in true BTW fashion: Ewok roasts, Luke’s Jedi glow-up, Han’s flat arc, and the death of the beloved (or reviled?) Yub Nub. From Salacious Crumb’s cackling to Vader’s redemption arc, it’s a full-force breakdown of everything that works and the few things that don’t.
IN THIS EPISODE:
Luke’s black outfit and what it says about his arc
Leia’s “bunker fingernails” and gold bikini legacy
Han Solo’s charisma (or lack thereof in this one)
Jabba’s palace as the Star Wars version of a sticky nightclub
Why Ewoks may or may not be intergalactic murder machines
HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
G-Man drops lore bombs.
Whitey flexes Star Wars superiority.
Damo admits he used to love Ewoks. Now... not so much.
And the debut of the “Salacious Crumbs” rating system.
