Star Wars Episode V:
The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Directed by Irvin
Kershner this sequel stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher
and Billy Dee Williams. Following the destruction of the death star
in the previous film the Empire looks to hunt down the rebels while
Luke continues his training as a Jedi.
Often this film is the
highest rated of the series and it is easy to see why as it takes
everything from the original and adds a level of philosophy as well
as a good amount of character development. There are more great
action sequences which include the opening battle in the snow and the
slight changes made by Lucas in the re-release do help clean up some
of the special effects. The extra budget available for the film also
help put the film just a notch above it's predecessor.
5/5
