It is difficult to make a sequel that can top something as great as Star Wars, but The Empire Strikes Back has easily set the bar for sequels nowadays. It continues A New Hope's story while adding darker and more character moments.

Yet again, the special effects are to praise as they have never looked better. However, the biggest praise this movie can get is the fact that they took characters we cared so much about and just made them so much closer to our hearts, by tearing us apart emotionally.

The Empire Strikes Back takes the series in a new direction that is darker and more engaging, that the Star Wars films have yet to go back to.

This review of The Empire Strikes Back (1980) was written by on 02 Oct 2017.
