Why 'Return of the Jedi' remains the ultimate Star Wars finale after 40 years.

As "Return of the Jedi" celebrates its 40th anniversary, it remains the coolest "Star Wars" finale for several reasons. Luke Skywalker's hero quest and Anakin Skywalker's evolution are still memorable, while Admiral Ackbar's "It's a trap" line became a popular meme. Princess Leia's bikini has evolved from demeaning to empowering, and the Ewoks added a ton of personality to the film. Finally, "Jedi" is the best "Star Wars" closing chapter, with a satisfying catharsis and an awesome celebration of the fall of the Empire.
