Return of the Jedi/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • When Han and Chewbacca are reunited. Chewie even gives him a Bear Hug.

Han: Chewie? Chewie, is that you?
Chewie grabs Han and shakes him
Han: Ch-Chewie! I can't see, pal. What's going on?
Chewie barks something about Luke
Han: Luke? Luke's crazy! He can't even take care of himself, much less rescue anybody.
Chewie barks again
Han: A Jedi Knight? Jeez, I'm out of it for a little while, everyone gets delusions of grandeur!

  • After Leia has been hit by blaster fire outside the shield generator bunker and Han is kneeling over her as troopers close in, she pulls out her blaster pistol and they reverse their CMofH from Empire.

Han: I love you.
Leia: I know.

  • The final lines between Luke and Vader/Anakin. Of course they border on Tear Jerker.

Vader: Luke... help me take this mask off.
Luke: But you'll die.
Vader: Nothing... can stop that now. Just for once... let me... look on you with my *own* eyes.
Anakin: Now... go, my son. Leave me.
Luke: No. You're coming with me. I'll not leave you here, I've got to save you.
Anakin: You already... have, Luke. You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister... you were right.
Luke: Father... I won't leave you!

  • The Original theatrical ending. All of it. The Highlight of the ending, is when Luke returns and is reunited with Han and Leia. For some reason, the 1997 endings onward truncate and split up this scene. And of course, Luke seeing his father as the man he would have been had he not turned to the dark side, sharing a friendly look with Obi-Wan and then favoring his offspring with a loving smile.
