Review of The Empire Strikes Back (1980) by Dave T — 28 Dec 2017

What a big steaming pile of rubbish which totally undermines and undoes the previous movie. We have the Emperor, a bad guy who has no backstory or explanation about who he is or where he comes from. The whole plot just revolves around a giant chase, with the rebels trying to outrun an endless pursuit from the bad guys. A former great Jedi master and warrior is suddenly now a crazy old hermit living in exile, totally against his character. The crazy hermit manages to train his pupil in the force in just a few hours while the tedious space chase is going on elsewhere. Luke's actions are completely out of character and he makes stupid decisions. Plot-holes everywhere and physics seems to go out of the window, i.e. Leia somehow manages to survive the vacuum of space and characters manage to survive fatal injuries without a scratch and ships can somehow drop bombs in zero gravity. The good guys get completely hammered by the bad guys which completely destroys the victories and successes that have gone before. Star Wars is ruined for ever.

** I truly hope people see the point of this which is to highlight how ridiculous the idiots bashing The Last Jedi are. **.
