The best of the series

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 1999)

Despite for the special effects that defined many things in episode 4, episode 5 is my favorite. It is the only Star Wars film that is in my top 10 films. This is the most dramatic film in the series. With great fx (cloud city, battle of Hoth, asteroid storm), a more complex story line, and cool enemies. This film has it all, including Lucas's great tradition in Saturday Matinee Cliffhanger serials he watched.
The film is confusing to anyone who hasn't seen the first, but after you do, the film takes off on the ice planet Hoth in which the rebels are hiding from the empire which is looking for them to destroy of course (Darth Vader now has an obsession to find Luke fueled by the emperor's commands). But, because of a probe, the empire finds them (but beforehand Luke hears a prophecy that he must go to Dagobah to see Yoda) and the Imperial waklkers drive them all out. Han solo, Leia, c-3po and Chewie escape on the Millennium Falcon only to be chased by the Starship into an asteroid film. Luke and R2-D2 go to Dagobah to be trained by Yoda, the Jedi master who instruceted Obiwan (Yoda is my favorite character in cinema) to become a Jedi. Yoda is joking at first, but then becomes serious. He teaches lessons than not only Luke learns, but anyone can learn as well.
In Conclusion, this film has pretty much all you'd expect in a 2nd part in a space odyssey. And I recommend you see this immediately.
