The plot thickens when the heroes fall prisoners of the evil Hutt, who decide to keep Leia as a slave while condemning Luke to be eaten by a Rancor. Finally, the team manages to escape, allowing Luke to return to Dagobah to complete his Jedi training. While the princess, Han Solo and the others goes to the moon of Endor, a satellite inhabited by the small Ewoks, a creatures that don't hesitate to lend their support to their visitors.

Trivia
Yoda was not in the original film, but George Lucas decided to add him when he realized it was the right character to confirm that Vader is Luke's father.
In the battle of Endor many of the ships that were part of the background are actually "chewed-up gum". The crew knew there was so much action going on that people would not notice this things.
Hayden Christensen says he didn't know exactly what is it that George Lucas wanted when he shot the scene that was added to the film in the Special Edition. He says that if he had known his performance would have been totally different.
