The Saga Continues...

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2004)

It's very rare when a sequel outshines the film that came before it,"The Empire Strikes Back" manages to do that in many ways. "Star Wars" always will be considered an all time classic,but "Empire" is a great follow up.
According to George Lucas,It's "Episode V" in his space opera. In my opinion it's the best in the series.
The characters are more fleshed out this time,and the plot is more complex and darker then the previous installment. The F/X is outstanding.
The film stands on it's own as a great cinematic achievement and should be recognized as more than a sequel,It's a continuation of great epic and all around excellent film.
