Yowsah yowsah!

Rating: Null/10 (24 September 1999)

This is really good, not better or as good as the first one, I might add, but it certainly more than stands up on its own. It is fast moving, better acted(esp. by Hamill/Fisher) and tautly edited. We get to see as much of Vader as we ever need to, and he is brought off brilliantly. Love the Cloud city, the Asteroid fight/flight/chase, the snow battle. You can see that they went for a real edge of the seat type of pacing here, and it works to the films betterment. Overall, very good.
What not too like:the Yoda stuff drags at times, but when he lifts the X-wing outta the muck, and when Luke 'meets Daddy' in the cave, those scenes kick. I can't say that Lando is much of a character(kinda flat) and I felt that Threepio was told to shut up about 5 times too often...Minor quibbling.
By all means, get it, see it, enjoy it; it is a great film and the second best in the run.
***1/2 outta **** stars.
