return of the jedi

These days, Star Wars can be a bit of a polarizing series. Many fans moan and groan about the deterioration of storytelling, how they feel rushed, and how there are tons of unresolved plot lines - not to mention straight up plot holes. Instead of lamenting the new, why not celebrate the old? The original Star Wars trilogy starring Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford is nearly always worthy of a revisit. And what better way to revisit than with a gallery of rare Polaroids from Return of the Jedi? Polaroids were utilized to preserve continuity by prop stylists, wardrobe, and the script supervisor. Generally, these photos would be destroyed after production, so we're lucky to have this amazing behind-the-scenes look at production. We've put together some of our favorites, but you can enjoy a whole lot more over at vintag.es . 

Whether you hate or love the Star Wars franchise, we can probably all agree that the memes that have come out of it are pretty excellent!

There are very few memes that have a shelf life as long as Star Wars memes. Here's a nice batch of 'em to help distract you from reality.
