There is another


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
