STAR WARS - EPISODE V: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980)
Featuring: Mark Hamill; Harrison Ford; Carrie Fisher
Director: Irvin Kershner
As we approach Oscar season 2018 it is well worth noting that this first sequel to the original Star Wars film was nominated for a further four Academy Awards of which it won two at the 1981 ceremony.
When the rebel's base on the planet Hoth is finally traced and attacked by Empire forces under the command of Lord Darth Vader, they are forced to flee. While Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Lea (Carrie Fisher) make their escape to the cloud city on planet Bespin, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) makes his way to the swamps of another planet in search of the mysterious Jedi Master Yoda in his quest to become a Jedi warrior. But when he senses that the princess is in peril, he interrupts his training to go to her rescue, little realizing that he is walking right into a trap set by the very same evil Lord Vader.
The action in this movie is even more hectic than it was in Episode IV. So if you plan on watching it (again?) prepare yourself for yet another roller coaster ride of fun and mayhem.
Again, it is worth 4 out of 5 stars in my book.
