Review of The Empire Strikes Back (1980) by Tyler R — 12 Apr 2016

Is there a six star option available? Yes, the second (or fifth, depending on your view of the prequels) film in the series is, hands down, the best of the franchise. The effects are even better, but only to match the incredible story telling at work, here.

The film thrives on the complications of what it means to be the galaxy's only hope, with no one around to truly help you through it all. And, as we all know, the godfather of all reveals at the end only makes this journey even more satisfying to watch.

And the acting is even better, now that everyone has time to settle into their roles and truly make them their own. The film moves exceptionally fast, but it is certainly worth coming back to again and again.
