Spoilers – Warning, the article below contains potential spoilers. If you do not wish to know its contents, please do not read the following…
In cinema, it can happen, provided we look at them from a very specific angle, that the titles of certain films allow us to glimpse crucial information about the development of their plot, and sometimes their outcome!
Thus, at the end of Edward Zwick’s historical fiction, Tom Cruise does indeed become… The Last Samurai. And what do Doc and Marty do when the first part of their famous trilogy comes to an end? They will be back in the future!
Titles that spoil their movie!
You get the idea: the titles of some famous big screen works actually reveal their endings.
It’s also about—even if no one noticed—Return of the Jedi, the final installment in the original Star Wars trilogy created by George Lucas nearly 40 years ago.
Taking place after A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, whose titles followed Luke Skywalker’s The Force Awakens and Darth Vader’s Revenge respectively, this third film concluded the Rebellion’s battle against Imperial forces. It ended, as everyone knows, in a stunning battle, with the fall of Emperor Palpatine and the sacrifice of Darth Vader, returning to the side of the Force to save his son’s life.
Who really is Return of the Jedi?
At first glance, one might think that the film’s title – Return of the Jedi – refers directly to Luke Skywalker, who has just completed his training, and perhaps to the scene where he chooses to surrender to the Emperor to confront him. father
However, according to some fans, the “Jedi” of the title is none other than Anakin Skywalker, imprisoned behind Darth Vader’s armor for decades, but still alive and ready to return to the good side of the Force at any moment.
This is what happens at the end of a feature film. At the end of a fierce internal struggle fueled by his son’s encouragement, the Sith Lord fades away in favor of the man he once was: Return of the Jedi.
Provided we see things from this precise angle – which also makes a lot more sense with the fact that Anakin is the chosen one who must balance the force – we can conclude that the title of this film hides a hidden meaning. … or a huge spoiler!
