Best of the Series.

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2001)

There's not much to say about this film that wasn't said in "Clerks". But I do have to say that it is very difficult to make a sequel better than the original and Empire surely did that. In many ways it is the very example of what a sequel should be; something that carries the characters further and in a more serious direction without loosing the feel of the original. That is, of course, the main problem with The Phantom Menace. It completely looses the mood of all of the previous films. Empire is dark, rich, and a wonderful piece of work to watch.
