The best of the series

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2002)

A lot of people have said this before, but I will say it again, Empire Strikes Back is the BEST of the Star Wars series. Star Wars was great, don't get me wrong. But, Star Wars was a movie to introduce the characters. This is a movie to let those characters DO something. When you see the battle on Hoth or on Cloud City, you KNOW the characters. This movie gives them MUCH more to do. Plus the special effects are very very good, and even in 2002 more than hold their own against the best of today.

Yoda was an OUTSTANDING creation. I can not understand some of the comments I have seen here that criticize Lucas for including Yoda. He provides balance to the entire series, and is most certainly NOT a muppet. It was a VERY necessary part of the movie and of the series.
