that would probably only work if you were actually Darth Vader.

or had a gun. actually, it would probably work much better if you had a gun instead of a goofy mask.

Guns are so primitive when compared to the force.

The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant to the power of the force.

Yep, you are correct.  I just watched Sith again last night.....that's the line....NERD.

Except when a guy uses the Force to cause a supernova which destroys a planet

 

 

But that's been decanonized now

The greatest sequel of all time, The Empire Strikes Back takes what made Star Wars great, and expands on it by focusing on the characters more than the scope. Leia gets the short end of the stick, but Han and Luke are basically co-leads in two parallel plotlines that feel innovative for 1980, and unusual even for today. Two iconic characters are introduced: Yoda, in a much more reserved and sophisticated characterization than I remembered, and my all time favorite Star Wars character, Lando Calrissian. He's so freaking cool. The end fight between Luke and Vader is an all-timer, not just because of the infamous reveal, but because of how brutal the fight feels compared to other lightsaber battles. The use of stop motion in the special effects is really neat, particularly in the opening fights on Hoth. John Williams innovates yet again with another iconic theme, and the script is the best this franchise has ever had, mixing poignancy with Luke and Yoda, humor with C3PO and Chewy, and romance with Han and Leia, all to perfection. I called it the greatest sequel of all time earlier, and I definitely feel comfortable calling The Empire Strikes Back one of the greatest films of all time. A+

A++++++++++++

 

One of my top 5 movies of all time.

[RobinHood26]

Still my #2 movie.... although I think Empire is better than JP as a movie.

"I found your lack of bargaining power disturbing."

Still my favorite Star Wars movie. Darth Vader is absolutely awesome in this and terrifying. The battle on Hoth still holds up in my opinion. I loved Yoda's facial expressions and humor, perfect. 

 

A+

The best script George Lucas has ever written.

Watched this about a year ago and I have to agree, its a great movie. Its just a shame that ROTJ was pretty fucking terrible in comparison.

[HeyItsMoses]

So I finally this for the first time, great movie! Actually liked it more than A New Hope. I've only seen episodes 1-4 prior to this, but I saw the Empire on tuesday night, and tonight (thursday) bout to watch Revenge of the Sith and Return of the Jedi. My cousin told me the order to watch the movies, and you pretty much skip the 1st one. The order goes:

 

1. A New Hope

2. Attack of the Clones (Honestly, the last 45 minutes or so was pretty much the only part of the movie that was worth it).

3. Empire Strikes Back

4. Revenge of the Sith

5. Return of the Jedi

 

Pretty much going back and forth between the prequels and the original trilogy. 

 

Anyway, I give this an A.

I don’t have a review but this is a good A+ movie I’m just putting this here in case Panda sees it and puts it in his user opinion thingy when it inevitably makes the list

[MrPink]

This movie is not half bad.
