Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is a 1984 arcade game by Atari, Inc. and the follow-up to 1983's Star Wars arcade game.

Home ports were released by Domark for the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, Atari ST,[1] Commodore 64,[2] and Amiga[3] in 1988. The game is included as an unlockable extra on Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike for Nintendo Gamecube.

Gameplay

The player takes control of three different vehicles in stages based upon the Return of the Jedi film. Gameplay is from a 3/4 isometrically projected perspective and is broken into several stages. In the first stage, the player pilots a speeder bike to the Ewok village. The next stage involves piloting the Millennium Falcon to destroy a reactor. Another speeder bike stage follows. The final stage involves piloting both an AT-ST and the Millennium Falcon in rapid succession in a fight against a star destroyer.
