If you weren't in the theaters for Empire...

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2020)

If you aren't old enough to say you were in a first run theater when you heard Vader say, "I am your father", then you probably lack the ability to enjoy the Star Wars ride regardless of where it takes you. That reveal had to be experienced in real time, the greatest and most controversial plot twist of the original trilogy.
Without that experience you will be prone to sneer at the unexpected twists in the sequel trilogy. It's what made the entire story worth while!
