Comments: By far the best part of the trilogy, "Empire" is a classic that completely transcends its genre, with a reputation that can only grow and grow. When the Empire attack the rebel forces on the ice planet of Hoth, the Millennium Falcon escapes with Han, Leia, C-3PO, and Chewbacca aboard. They seek refuge in the Cloud City of Bespin. Luke Skywalker and R2-D2 have flown to Dagobah to seek a Jedi master. But when Luke realises that his friends are flying into a trap, he decides he must go to their aid. Luke comes most clearly into focus when his terrible destiny is made clear to him, and in the process Darth Vader is transformed from a caricature villain into a terrifyingly dark, but human creature.
