Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back [1997 Special Edition]


Still the best of the series by a long shot, even the special edition additions are non-intrusive, all given a fresh edge of hilarity by Charlotte's hopelessly over the top reaction of pure terror every time Yoda's puppet appeared.

  1. God I hate those Yoda scenes. Why does Jedi training have to be so boring? Darth Vadar's man management skills are a delight, and the production design looks amazing - sunset on Bespin and the mighty super star destroyer. Bad news - attack of the clones for me next

  2. Clearly the "best" film in the saga that manages to remain thrilling despite only really being 3 sequences, one of which is so long and slow it should kill this film, but instead fills it with wonder.
