Star Wars Episode Five: The Empire Strikes Back
This is my favorite of the classic trilogy. For one thing, the Imperial March makes it debut and anyone who knows me will tell you...I love that song. For another thing, Lucas stepped it up and introduced some more characters, improved the special effects, and sure, he put Star Wars on the map with Episode 4, but with Episode 5 and its' success, it was Lucas's way of saying, "We're here to stay."
The Rebel Alliance survived the Death Star and blew it away in a cloud of smoke, fire, and debris. They are now camping out on the frozen planet of Hoth. The Empire is not going to give up, however, and their search for the Rebel Base intensifies. Princess Leia, Luke, and Han Solo are three top leaders in the Alliance.
While caught in a storm on Hoth (after escaping the dreaded Wompa), Luke gets a vision of Obi-Wan, who died on the Death Star while fighting Darth Vader. He is supposed to go to the Dagobah System, where he will learn the ways of the Force from our little green friend, Yoda. Luke plans on going, but then, the Empire finds the Rebel Base, and they end up fighting for their lives. Of course, the Rebels come out on top and flee into the deepness of space to set up a temporary headquarters for themselves. Luke goes to Dagobah while Han, Leia, Chewie, and the two droids (R2 and C-3PO) try to outrun the ever-persistent Empire and find help.
Of course, Han and Leia and the crew get in trouble, and when Luke hears of their misfortune, he decides to put his training on hold and go rescue his friends. In doing so, he finds out a terrible truth...the REAL truth about Darth Vader being Anakin Skywalker, his father.
Four stars. Like I said, the special effects were way better, and the character developement was excellent. The camera work was definitely something to behold, and the acting improved -- slightly.
