The Empire Strikes Back is my favourite Star Wars Film

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2019)

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, directed by Irvin Kershner follows the incredibly successful Star Wars: A New Hope. This movie is directed perfectly, and is accompanied by such an excellent screenplay. The film starts on a high and progressively builds with even more excitement in every scene. The fact that the characters and storyline had already been established in the first film, it allowed for much more entertaining character relationships and action sequences. The visuals in The Empire Strikes Back are even more impressive, and till this day certain sets are jaw dropping. Also the music by John Williams is outstanding, introducing the iconic Imperial March added a new level of darkness to Darth Vader and The Empire. This film fleshes out its main characters, giving them so much more depth. Luke's training with the incredible Yoda, allowed him to learn important lessons and wisdom. Also learning more about Darth Vader and who he is controlled by makes him so much more complex and compelling. The Empire Strikes Back is my favourite Star Wars Film. Every person working on this movie was at their creative peak, so therefore I must give it a 10.
