The extraordinary success after the release of Star Wars (1977) made Lucas Films have to make its follow-up and was released in 1980 with the title of Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back and after the advent of the prequel trilogy this film became Star Wars Episode V. Empire Strike Back is ranked fifth according to timeline and second by year of release.
This time George Lucas entrusted the director's chair to Irvin Kershner and Kershner was able to lift Star Wars to a much higher level with epic tales and make the most famous twist plot in the history of world cinema. If in the first series 'only' contains exciting adventures of saving the world then in this Empire Strike Back story is very brilliant braids and arranged nicely.
Three years after the battle won by rebels called The Rebels, led by Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), The Rebels, which included Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and the Falcon Millennium pilot Han Solo (Harrison Ford) built their new base in ice planet named Hoth, in line with that The Empire's wrath continues to hunt down The Rebels to be destroyed.
When Luke is looking for something outside and the weather is very extreme. Luke is captured by wampa (creature planet Hoth) he manages to escape using force force to capture his Lightsaber and break the rope that curbs him with the lightsaber, but on Luke's journey of cold, when almost unconscious, Luke sees the Obi-Wan Kenobi ghost telling him to to see Yoda the mas jedi in Dagobah. Han Solo who came looking for Luke finally found Luke who had fainted cold.
Long story short Luke goes to Dagobah to meet Yoda and there is a battle between Rebels and the Empire as Darth Vader's army knows of their hiding place. The scene of the battle here is arguably special because it is certainly very difficult to make this big battle scene in 1980.
Luke had to train hard in a very short time to become a jedi in the middle of the tempest that happened in the galaxy there. It means that Luke is the one who must defeat Darth Vader and the evil Empire Palpatine, can Luke have the job?
The Empire Strike Backs series is called the best episode of all time with a very nice storyline, Luke Skywalker's scenes against Darth Vader is an iconic scene, here's where the big plots tweak Luke Skywalker's fate. The plot also makes Star Wars level up.
Empire Strike Back won an Oscar for best sound and a string of other awards in 1981.
Star Wars Episode V: Empire Strikes Back is a truly magnificent space opera movie with a very epic climax at the end of the movie.
