Trivia:
Endor is the name of a place in the Bible; it's a village found in Biblical Israel's territory of Isaachar, where king Saul went on the eve of his final battle with the Phillistines and came across "The Witch of Endor". It also the Elvish name for Middle-Earth in J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings".
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes:
Right after Lando says, "Fighters coming in," at the beginning of the space battle, you can literally see TIE fighters in the background appearing out nowhere.

Command station, this is ST321, code clearance blue. We're starting our approach; deactivate the security shield.
User Review
Underrated
Rating: 10/10
I noticed that A NEW HOPE and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK are in the TOP
10, but that this one isn't even in the TOP 100.
This movie has a bad reputation because of Ewoks, but there are so many
reasons to love this movie:
-The Rescue of Han Solo from Jabba: This official wraps up the Han Solo
in debt sub-plot that was established when we first met the character
in A NEW HOPE.
-The Emperor was Finally Revealled: Well alright this might not work as
well now that the prequels are out but this was the first time we saw
The Emperor as kids.
-The Speeder Bike Chase: Alright, so this was a special effects moment.
But it was definitely one of the most memorable and exciting moments in
all the films!
-The 3 Part Climax: 1) The Battle of Endor (Led by Han and Leia) 2)
Luke Confronts his Father & The Fall of the Emperor 3) The Destruction
of the Second Death Star (Lando's Moment)
-The Final Celebration with Our Heroes: Like I said, this movie gets a
lot of crap because of the Ewoks but I think it's kind of cool that
while the entire galaxy celebrates the FALL OF THE EMPIRE, our heroes
are having their own private party in the woods with each other.
All in all this was a great final chapter for our heroes and a fitting
end to the STAR WARS story.
