The finale for Rick and Morty Season 4 is called \u201cStar Mort Rickturn of the Jerri.\u201d This is a reference to a Star Wars movie. Read on to learn more.
The title of Season 4 Episode 10, \u201cStar Mort Rickturn of the Jerri,\u201d refers to a Star Wars movie. As with many other Rick and Morty episode titles, it\u2019s possible that the theme of the movie won\u2019t reflect on the theme of the episode at all. But still, here is at the movie and more details about the episode.
The title is a parody of the movie title: Star Wars: Episode VI \u2013 Return of the Jedi.
Return of the Jedi was first released in 1983, directed by Richard Marquand, with the screenplay written by Lawrence Kasdan and George Lucas. Lucas was the executive producer. This was the third in the original Star Wars trilogy, taking place a year after The Empire Strikes Back. In this movie, the Empire was constructing a second Death Star. This also saw another standoff between Darth Vader and Luke.
The classic movie is beloved by many. Here\u2019s a trailer:

Here\u2019s a look at what past Rick and Morty episode titles meant this season. This has minor spoilers for past episodes.
Season 4 Episode 1: \u201cEdge of Tomorty: Rick Die Repeat\u201d \u2013 This was a reference to the movie Edge of Tomorrow, which had the tagline: Live, Die, Repeat. This was a sci-fi movie starring Tom Cruise about reliving time over and over until you can find a way to survive the objective. It tied in pretty closely with the show\u2019s premise.
Season 4 Episode 2: \u201cOld Man and the Seat\u201d \u2013 This was a reference to the classic book \u201cThe Old Man and the Sea.\u201d The episode was about Rick endlessly guarding the ultimate toilet, but \u201ckilling\u201d a potential friendship in the process, kind of like how the book was about a man\u2019s endless quest to catch a large marlin. (Or it may have been about Rick\u2019s endless quest for the perfect joke.)
Season 4 Episode 3: \u201cOne Crew over the Crewcook\u2019s Morty\u201d \u2013 This referred to a classic novel and movie called One Flew Over the Cuckoo\u2019s Nest. Interestingly, One Flew Over the Cuckoo\u2019s Nest is NOT a heist movie, so it\u2019s unclear why the episode is named after the book and movie.
Season 4 Episode 4: \u201cClaw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim\u2019s Morty\u201d \u2013 This is a reference to a TV series called Law & Order: Special Victim\u2019s Unit (also known as Law & Order SVU for short.) \u201cClaw and Hoarder\u201d also referred to the claws of a dragon that hoards its treasure. After watching the episode, it\u2019s also clear that the sexual crimes part of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is also related to the plot.
Season 4 Episode 5: \u201cRattlestar Ricklactica\u201d \u2013 This is a reference to the show Battlestar Galactica, even though the episode itself was more of a callback to Terminator.
Season 4 Episode 6: \u201cNevericking Morty\u201d \u2013 This referred to the movie and book Neverending Story.
Season 4 Episode 7: \u201cPromortyus\u201d \u2013 This referred to the movie Prometheus.
Season 4 Episode 8: \u201cThe Vat of Acid Episode\u201d \u2013 This was the only episode of the season that didn\u2019t refer to a movie, book, or TV series.
Season 4 Episode 9: \u201cChildrick of Mort\u201d \u2013 This title referred to the movie Children of Men.
