Academy Vs Audience

1983: Terms of the Jedi


Listen Later

It's 1983, and the big movies are all about difficult parent/child relationships. The Oscars went to Terms of Endearment, a mother/daughter story conceived, written, and brought to the screen by men, and Erin, Claire, and Dan have a lot of questions and notes on its success. Audiences, however, needed to see how Han Solo got out of the carbonite, and flocked to Return of the Jedi, which would seem to be the end of Star Wars. It wasn't, but nobody knew that. Lots of hot takes on bad names, bad relationships, and unnecessarily sexy alien lounge singers, so strap in!
