Return of the Jedi
1983.  Richard Marquand.

From the mysterious, underworld palace of the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt, filled with a variety of imaginative aliens and giant monsters, to the flying motorcycle chases through the vast forests of Endor, Return of the Jedi has everything.  The film delivers more creatures, more effects and more action than the two previous instalments in the Star Wars trilogy, but what really makes Return of the Jedi great is the struggle between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, and more importantly, between Darth Vader and himself, as Luke attempts to turn his father back to the side of good.  Forget what the nay sayers say (nay), this is pure, unadulterated entertainment.

And the Ewoks are more than “just a bunch of Muppets.”
