More creatures and excitement as the trilogy continues

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2019)

Form the overwhelming success of the first Star Wars film ("Episode IV - A New Hope") the movie-going public was chomping at the bit in anticipation of this second film. It came out three years after the first and continued the mystique of the first film. The fans flocked to the theaters, and the critics couldn't heap enough praise on the production.
As with the first, special effects are a dominant aspect of this film. The story continues and builds to a nice conclusion that leaves audiences on the edge of their seats in antici0pation of the finale. Of this second film, I especially enjoyed the new creatures that the film introduces. The character of Yoda undoubtedly required more work and ingenuity to film. While Frank Oz was the voice of Yoda, he and several other puppeteers and two dwarf actors created the character and brought him to life.
This film probes the moral and spiritual aspects of series and its time and place. The sci-fi aspects that I enjoy the most are the scenes of the Cloud City on the gas planet, Bespin. The vibrant colors in these space scenes are fantastic.
This is just a great film in a great series all around.
