Overview and Gameplay
Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, and Wicket take the final film of the original trilogy into a fast SNES action format. Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi mixes side-scrolling platform combat with vehicle stages, boss fights, passwords, difficulty settings, and character selection on many stages.
The adventure follows key scenes from Jabba’s palace through Endor and the Death Star. Luke fights with a lightsaber and Force powers, while the blaster characters use aimed shots, explosives, and character-specific moves.
