Remember when Return of the Jedi was the last Star Wars movie in a tight trilogy, before we beheld the horror contained within those poorly written prequels?
Then you remember how amazing Return of the Jedi looked on the big screen, with eyes open and mind racing at the far out look of it all.
You remember how creatures like Jabba the Hutt, the Ewoks and the Max Rebo Band came to life thanks to high quality practical special effects makeup, stop motion animation and puppeteering.
Now you can take a peek behind the curtain and see all that went in to the making of Return of the Jedi in this a gallery of behind-the-scenes photos collected by Imgur user JoinYouInTheSun.
Take a gander and remember the glory days of the Star Wars franchise, before things went straight Jar-Jar.

Search Youtube for "plinkett star wars episode 1" for an in-depth, detailed expert analysis of just how incredibly awful the prequels are. Ep1 is right-up there with Waterworld as quite possibly the worst big-budget movie ever made by a major studio.
