Erin the Star Wars Virgin and Return of the Jedi

Erin has never seen Return of the Jedi.  I have seen it too many times to count and seeing it in the movie theater in 1983 was one of the greatest moments of my life.  We watch it together and then review.  Will the Force be with Erin and ROTJ or will anger lead to hate?
