Critique de Le retour du Jedi

This re-release of the comic adaptation of the sixth Star Wars movie is an official adaptation of George Lucas' original screenplay. The writer Archie Goodwin has done an excellent job of simplifying the story to make it more accessible and understandable in comic form. The art, by Al Williamson and Bill Sienkiewicz, is serviceable, although it may appear dated to modern readers. But in comparison to the previous comic adaptations, this is a vast improvement. However, the story does drag on at times, and at some points can feel a bit too slow-paced. Although, the characters are given more depth and for those who are nostalgic about the franchise will appreciate this comic adaptation. But if someone is a new reader or a person who has never seen the original movie, they might find the whole thing a bit outdated, and it may not be the best starting point for someone unfamiliar with the Star Wars franchise.
