Title: The Empire Strikes Back
Release Date: 1980
Director: Irving Kushner
Summary/Review:
Still the best of the Star Wars films, allowing space for the characters to breath and grow and for the actors to show their chops, while still having intertwining action plots that come together at the end. And it’s funny. It certainly wasn’t satisfying as kid to have it just end with the good guys essentially losing and so much unresolved. Watching this with my kids for the first time meant lots of questions, Yoda being scary, and Darth Vader being unexpectedly cool.
Rating: *****
I remember when I was a kid that Darth Vader was super cool. He was such an awesome villain. I wouldn’t have expected Yoda to be scary, but I can see how he could seem that way.

It’s still my favorite of all the movies.
