Possibly the greatest sequel ever made

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2015)

This movie is regarded as the textbook example of how to make a good sequel. It is up there with The Dark Knight, and Terminator 2 Judgement Day, as on of THE great sequels of all time, Almost all people say it is the greatest Star Wars movie ever made, while some say it is one of the greatest movies ever made. I don't personally agree with the last one, but I do think this movie, is one of those movies that gets everything right.
The idea of a sequel is to build upon the original. To say that this movie does that correctly is an understatement. This movie is much darker than the original (dark by 70s/80s standards), the villainous Darth Vader is more evil than in the previous film, and one could say it is one of those movies where the bad guys win. The heroes (namely Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia) are in much more dangerous situations then before (and they are for basically the entire movie.) You get to learn more about the force, see Luke learn how to become a Jedi (or try to), and get the biggest shock you'll ever get while watching a movie, when you find out the antagonist, is actually the protagonists father.
This is an excellent sequel, a fantastic movie in general, and possibly the best Star Wars movie out there. With that I give it a 9/10
