The player takes control of three different vehicles in stages based upon the Return of the Jedi film. Gameplay is from an isometrically projected perspective and is broken into three stages. In the first, the player pilots a speeder bike to the Ewok village. The next stage involves piloting the Millennium Falcon to destroy a reactor. Another speeder bike stage follows. The final stage involves piloting both an AT-ST and the Millennium Falcon in rapid succession in a fight against a Star Destroyer.
In Japan, Game Machine listed Star Wars: Return of the Jedi on their February 15, 1985 issue as being the sixth most-successful upright/cockpit arcade unit of the month.[4]
