"No. I am your father."
The Empire Strikes Back (later retitled Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back) is a 1980 American space opera directed by George Lucas. It is the next of the original trilogy and easily surpasses the other two.
Plot[]
The Empire has struck back against the Rebels by sending probe droids on the ice planet of Hoth.
Why It's Better than the Star Wars Holiday Special and Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace[]
- Amazing score by John Williams just like its predecessor.
- An impressive dark tone which is well-made.
- Features more iconic characters like Boba Fett and Darth Sidious also known as The Emperor.
- The duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader is awesome.
- There are no horrid musical numbers like in The Star Wars Holiday Special.
- The quote "No, I am your father", is one of the most memorable movie quotes of all time.
- The opening scene just goes above and beyond, with the Star Destroyer sending Probe Droids to Hoth.
