Star Wars Episode 5 was the second installment of the Star Wars (1977) franchise.
The characters were better written and acted, the story had more meat to it and the special effects were the very finest in the land at the time.
It was structured even more like an old time Saturday Afternoon Western Serial than the first one was , but wasn't quite as utterly juvenile.
And it introduced us to Yoda, while keeping the best parts of the first one and adding other new elements to the mix--none of them going over board in the cute department.
If only Lucas and Kershner got along better so that Kershner could have continued directing future Star Was films.
(Another Great Movie Sequel #13 in the series)
The EMPIRE STRIKES BACK 1980 Directed by Irvin Kershner
