Return of the Jedi picks up the action of the movie where the Rebel forces begin their attack against the Imperial Death Star. In the first level you control Princess Leia on her Speederbike through the forest of Endor, to the safety of the Ewok village. You leave Leia there and go to another part of the forest to control Chewbacca's Scout Walker. There, Han Solo is waiting to deactivate the shields protecting the Death Star. On the second and third levels you control Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian as he flies the Millenium Falcon. Lando flies close to the Death Star fighting off a mighty attack from TIE Fighters. The Millenium Falcon enters the Death Star and travels down a dangerous corridor towards the central reactor. Blast the reactor and then turn around to get away from the Death Star as it blows up!

Just when you thought the DEATH STAR had been reduced to dust - it's making a comeback! Piece by piece, the Empire's reconstructing the ultimate space station. Its completion would mean unthinkable power for the Imperial forces. The DEATH STAR must be destroyed... once and for all! Grab hold of the controls and guide the MILLENNIUM FALCON through one of the ever-changing openings in the force field. Blast TIE INTERCEPTORS left and right before they open fire on you! Plus, keep an eye on the Death Ray as it tracks your ship. One direct hit and you're a goner! Fire away at the DEATH STAR! Wear it down with your missiles - and POW - the DEATH STAR's history! A cool head and a steady hand are a must if you're to succeed in this mission!

A shoot 'em up game.
