Here's a wonderful clip of @TheWookieeRoars as Chewie, feeding Harrison Ford with English lines on set at Elstree in 1979 for The Empire Strikes Back. Peter loved this clip.
Harrison Ford, 1979 - "Poor dear. It's pretty shocking...He (Luke) is of course fond of the Princess himself". @HamillHimself - "Give me three weeks in hyperspace!".
Today is Return of the Jedi's 40th anniversary.
The first time we saw Jabba.
Han was rescued.
Luke's lineage and family was confirmed.
We met the Ewoks.

And Anakin was redeemed.
Who still loves it and why?
