The Empire Strikes Back [1980 film]

Rebels run away from the evil Space Empire.

Much more fast-paced and exciting than Star Wars, but I like the original better anyway. The cliff-hanger ending is kind of half-assed and pointless. I mean, they spent this movie repeatedly escaping from the full forces of the Empire, led by Darth Vader himself, and now we're supposed to worry about whether they can rescue Han from a single bounty hunter? Maybe if Jedi wasn't forced to spend its first half cleaning up Empire's loose ends, it could have had room for a story of its own.

The period of this film takes place three years after the original Star Wars saga begins. It depicts the battle between the evil Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance, led by Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker. Skywalker is trained by the great Jedi Master Yoda leading up to his epic battle with Darth Vader. Excellent story line and a great sequel to the original film that started the Star Wars saga. Wonderful acting, minus a few "cheesy" scenes. Highly recommend.
