A colorful array of bounty hunters is assembled. The petty squabbles of the Imperial Navy and its never-ending parade of dead officers give us a glimpse into the structure of the enemy. Elsewhere, the series’ space-piloting scenes have their most goosebump-raising moment when the Falcon dodges asteroids and T.I.E. The mysticism and wonder of Star Wars are at their zenith in Empire. His Dagobah scenes with Yoda are heavy with omens and portent never in the series do the arcane mysteries of the Force feel as compelling as they do while Luke levitates rocks and digests philosophy.

Every character undergoes positive growth: Leia (Carrie Fisher) moves from “princess” figurehead to military commander and tireless organizer of a resistance Han (Harrison Ford) has become a leader of men, completing the transition he began when returning to help destroy the Death Star in A lion New Hope and Luke (Mark Hamill) finally starts down the path to becoming a Jedi in earnest. It gives flesh to the idea of the “Rebel Alliance,” showing us how this ragtag band of freedom fighters operates while slowly winning the ideological battle and drawing more support to their cause. The Empire Strikes Back is Exhibit A in the category of sequels that surpass the original, taking the wondrous world we were granted in A New Hope and deepening, expanding its purview in every direction. Stars: Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
