📖 Synopsis
The Rebellion has been scattered by the Empire. Luke Skywalker travels to the planet Dagobah to train with Master Yoda, while Han Solo, Princess Leia, and their companions are pursued across the galaxy by Imperial fleets. Irvin Kershner directed the darkest and most emotionally daring chapter of the saga, the first to leave its characters in a worse position than at the beginning and to risk a revelation that changed popular culture forever.
✍️ Our review
9.5/10
★★★★★
The Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars movie and one of the most perfect sequels in history. Vader's revelation is the greatest twist in 20th-century pop culture. Kershner filmed the saga with greater dramatic weight than Lucas.
