The greatest of the saga

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2002)

"The Empire Strikes Back" is an astoundingly good movie that holds up well to repeated viewings. Although I consider myself a "Star Wars" fan, I feel that this is the only GREAT movie in the saga. The cast was excellent with Mark Hamill doing a good job as the conflicted Luke Skywalker, Harrison Ford as the wise-cracking Han Solo, Carrie Fisher as the take-charge Princess Leia and Billy Dee Williams as the suave and treacherous Lando Calrissian. Also along for the ride are Frank Oz as the wise Yoda and Peter Mayhew as the lovable Chewbacca. However, Darth Vader COMPLETELY steals this picture. This is one of, if not the greatest film villains ever. David Prowse has remarkable presence in the Vader suit and James Earl Jones is positively chilling as the dark lord's voice. I give this movie 10 out of 10.
