Sensational

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 1999)

Whereas the fourth and sixth episodes suffer from some minor blemishes (the first installment has too many to mention), Episode V is sacrosanct.
The wisdom of Yoda is timeless: "Do or do not...there is no try." The classic light saber duel culminates into one of the most startling revelations in cinematic history: "No, Luke...I am your father." It sends chills down my spine every time I see it.
Possibly the greatest sequence ever filmed is the tragic freeze of Capt. Solo. The editing involved in this scene is phenomenal...everything is synchronized perfectly, including the dialogue, the action, the eerie lighting, and of course...the ominous "Imperial March" theme. It is unparalleled.
