Star Wars Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

Star Wars Episode 5 is directed by Irvin Kerchner and stars Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford. The story picks up after the rebels had successfully conquered the Death Star, and quickly moves to show how the rebels are overpowered by the Empire on their newly established base. Luke Skywalker escapes the attack after saving his friends, and trains with Jedi Master, Yoda. While his friends are pursued by Darth Vader.

This is one of the best sequels ever made. It is great to know that the Star Wars movies don’t use a complicated plot but stick to a simple premise. This what movies of this generation fails to do. The movie is absolutely entertaining! The movie had great visuals and action scenes . And again Han Solo’s character is hilarious and likable. Darth Vader still proves to be menacing. One great scene is the mentor-student relationship between Yoda and Luke. The last act of the movie is the most famous with a twist. The light saber fights were great better than the previous installment. I thought the movie was lengthy

In the End Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes back is a must see film. See the original trailer below.
