Summary

Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi – often just called Super Return of the Jedi – landed on the Game Boy in 1995 after a 16‑bit debut. Realtime Associates handled the handheld conversion while THQ took care of publishing, bringing the Lucas Arts‑crafted action to a portable screen.
The Game Boy version lets you jump into the shoes of five distinct rebels: Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, or even the plucky Ewok Wicket. This roster fuels a surprisingly varied experience, letting players swing lightsabers, fire blasters, and navigate platform challenges from multiple angles.
Critics praised the handheld for its fun factor and tough level design, with Power Unlimited awarding a solid 74 %. Reviewers noted the graphics are rudimentary and the tiny view can hide hazards, but that very limitation makes it a rewarding test for seasoned platform fans.

Storyline

Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi follows the basic arc of the film but sprinkles in extra set‑pieces, such as Luke Skywalker battling his way through the Death Star to confront the Emperor. You can control a roster that includes Luke, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia and the Ewok Wicket as you move from Tatooine to Endor. Leia’s role shifts with the story: she appears as bounty‑hunter Boushh with a staff at Jabba’s palace, later fights with a broken chain after escaping the sail barge, and finally wields a blaster as a Rebel commander on Endor. The game pits you against iconic bosses – Jabba the Hutt, the Rancor, Darth Vader and the Emperor – while also delivering vehicle stages like the speeder‑bike chase on Endor and a cruise aboard the Millennium Falcon. Your missions range from rescuing Han from Jabba, destroying the forest‑moon power generator, confronting Vader and the Emperor, to leading the Rebel fleet in the final assault on the new Death Star.
