Best of the original trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 1999)

Among all the Star Wars films to date, you can't beat ESB for suspense and chills. Impeccably written & shot. Also, this film's lightsaber duel improves tremendously on the original's - go back & watch A New Hope, you'll be surprised at how awkward the Kenobi/Vader duel seems. This film's duel is the first multi-level one, and the effects flow better. Bring back Kershner to direct Episode II!!
N.B. The adding of cityscapes at Cloud City in some scenes of the Special Edition is a very nice touch.
