Star Wars Episode V -The Empire Strikes Back [PG]

We've met the characters and we've seen their victory, but now the situation becomes a little more dangerous. The Empire is not giving up without a fight!

And the adventure continues.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...
It is a dark time for the rebellion. Although the Death Star has been destroyed, Imperial troops have driven the Rebel forces from their hidden base and pursued them across the galaxy. Evading the dreaded Imperial Starfleet, a group of freedom fighter led by Luke Skywalker has established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth. The evil Lord Vader, obsessed with finding young Skywalker, has dispatched thousands of remote probes into the far reaches of space...

I'm going to come clean and say that me and my family are the type of people who can watch a movie over and over again until we know the script off by heart. Not only that, but we have a habit of watching films one after the other, especially if they're part of a trilogy or saga. We literally have done weekends where we watch trilogies and sagas back to back, one movie straight after the other. I think it's safe to say that it's about time we saw a doctor or something.
But anyway, back to the main event. Star Wars V, the second movie in the saga and the only movie out of all six where we don't end up on Tatooine, Luke's home planet. I'm not kidding, you watch them. In every film apart from this one, we spend some time on Tatooine, the planet that is "farthest from the bright centre of the universe."
After the rebels destroyed the evil Galactic Empire's ultimate weapon, the armored space station commonly known as the Death Star, the Empire is determined to bounce back. Hence the title of the episode.
All our favourite actors revisit their roles. Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, James Earl Jones, Billy Dee William, Anthony Daniels and Frank Oz as the little green Jedi master himself.
This movie is infinitely more action-packed then the first and, at times, a bit more distressing. With more drama, suspense, battles, romance, and technology getting blown up, Star Wars V keeps you glued to your seat for the entire film and, ending on a cliffhanger, you'll be dying to know what happens next!
