A perfect sequel to a perfect movie.

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2000)

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was a tough act to follow. However, Lucas did it with Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Without a doubt, it is the darkest of the Star Wars films (until Episode III comes out anyway) giving it a real dramatic feel to it. It also reveals the true fate of Anakin Skywalker. One that had audiences around the world gasping in surprise. Also contains one of the greatest sword fights in movie history.
