The below from the interview really resonates with me. One problem i always had
with Return of the Jedi was the ending. I kept thinking that just because the
second Death Star was destroyed, and Vader and the Emperor dead, that only
meant the work was beginning. After all, there was a huge
celebration of the Ewoks that essentially ended
the trilogy with a teddy bear luau.
