What I love about The Empire Strikes Back is that it's such an original sequel to A New Hope. Also, unlike the other episodes of the original trilogy, all of the revisions/alterations to Empire I think make it better. The ships look much better and more realistic (no more grey boxes around TIE Fighters). Cloud City on Bespin evokes more beauty. This is as close as we'll ever get to seeing a restored version of the original movie.

This is a classic. It took the characters from the first Star Wars film (which actually was Episode IV), and took it to the next level.

When this movie was about to come out, it was revealed that the first Star Wars movie was actually the fourth installment of a set of nine movies, consisting of three trilogies. Lucas finally went back and did the first trilogy, but scrapped plans of doing the final trilogy.

Some people saw a Christian allegory in Episode IV, but this episode shows the Hindu mindset of Lucas. Also, while it has its moments, it is more darker and somber than the other. The ending of this one clearly points to the fact that there is yet another movie coming out.

Excellent movie.
