The Best Scene in the Movie The best scene in Return of the Jedi is when the Ewoks think C-3P0 (the gold robot) is a god. This is the best scene because in this scene the Ewocks tie the robot s friends (Hans Solo, Luke Skywalker, Chubacca, and R2-D2) to logs and try to cook them, but the robot stops the Ewoks. The robot stops the Ewoks from cooking his friends by threatening to punish them if they didn t untie his friends. The scene ends with the Ewoks freeing the robot s friends. by Alfredo S.
