    Without this entry in the original trilogy, there would no such thing as a dark sequel.

    My favourite of the series, Irvin Kershner is a over looked director. Odd splashes of incest, deception and revenge, and of course the 'I am you father' bit - Easterners has been ripping it off for years!

    The best Star Wars film made, dark, brooding, the now famous plot twist and revelation which is pretty much folklore now haha its all near perfect with Empire, the outstanding Hoth battle sequence at the start to the breathtaking Bespin ending and all with the greatest character ...( read more)in villain history included :) Boba Fett :)
    The Yoda middle always kinda bored me I admit, slowed it down but I guess its needed hehe
    Shame Kershner couldnt do the same with Robocop 2.

    The best of the original trilogy forming the heart of the saga. My sentimental childhood favourite.

    This is by far the greatest of all the Star Wars movies. The Characters are alot better written, the acting better. And the darker tone of the film is very welcome. This time the Empire have a greater menace, and not just a bunch of bad guys in a flying ball. The film works on ev...( read more)ery level, and the ending leaves you craving more. But for me the iceing on the cake is the Added music score of the Emperial March, the sound of that music pounding out of my speakers is pure goosebump time ! This has to be composer John Williams greatest creation. If you have to buy one Star Wars movie, buy this. A masterclass in SCI-FI escapism !

    Irvin Kerschner ups the ante in the middle part of the trilogy. Darker than the first. Outstanding.

    My favourite from the trilogy.
    It feels a lot more grown up and better constructed than the first. It also has one of the greatest endings in cinema.
