STAR WARS EPISODE V: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980)


Want to be blown away by a good movie, Empire Strikes Back it is. This is a worthy sequel (or 5th) if you count the NEW TRILOGY. The Empire Strikes Back is the film where we are first introduced to the great Jedi master Yoda, as well as some of the most thrilling battle sequences of the entire Star Wars series. The battle scene where the rebels fight the Imperial Walkers is an incredibly well-made battle scene, not only in the way that it was put together so convincingly using models, but that the machines themselves are so creatively made and look real.

This time around in the story, The Galactic Empire, under the leadership of Darth Vader, is in pursuit of Luke Skywalker and the rest of the Rebel Alliance. The story is what fills this movie. We learn the true nature relationship of Vader and Luke. It happens in the end and is one of the best fight scenes in cinema history. Followed by one of the best movie quotes ever.

Another scene that is great occurs on Dagobah, where Luke enters a cave of horror and is confronted by a surprise visitor, leading to an even bleaker twist of events. Besides these great scenes so many good things are happening in this movie. This is a Great sequel to an original film.

The Empire Strikes Back gets 10/10 stars
