Episode 430 - The Day Return Of The Jedi Played Without the 4th Reel

On May 25, 1983, the hype level was off the charts as RETURN OF THE
JEDI opened in theaters all across America. But for one theater in
San Diego, California, it was a different story as the highly
anticipated film played without it's crucial fourth reel. Listen as
we bravely examine what that could have been like for that sold out
crowd and how it naturally made ROTJ a whole new experience. Is
Return of the Jedi still Return of the Jedi without Baby Ewoks? And
what about the "riots" in a theater in New York where ROTJ skipped
the fourth and FIFTH reel? PLUS, even more breaking Blast Points
