Incredible!

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 1999)

Because I grew up with Star Wars, I have always found it difficult to choose a favorite episode in the Star Wars Trilogy. I love them all equally. However, I do like The Empire Strikes Back very much for many of the same reasons that Samuel (see previous comment) did. It seems that the characters really find themselves in this film. They come to grips with who they are and what they're doing in life. Some of the awkwardness of A New Hope is shed and they begin to (if I may use a cliché) blossom. I think it's a perfect middle story, it has a nice cliffhanger, yet it never disappoints you!
