The Case
Okay, we're all familiar with the legendary, and sometimes infamous, Star Wars films. We've all seen the movies - and if you haven't, I demand you stop reading and go watch them NOW! - we've all heard the quotes, we've all used the phrase "May the Force be with you." Wait - doesn't everyone use that phrase in everyday conversation...?
Uh, anyway, what I'd like to do here is rank the six SW movies in order from "The Best Flick of all Time That Makes Me Weep With Joy Every Time I Watch It" to "Oh My God, What The Heck Is This Abominable Monstrosity of a Thing and Why Does It Have The...
read full review »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...

Harrison Ford's Han Solo teaches us that, you can tell someone I love you too, in the coolest way ever. If I'm flipping through...

This is "Thee" Star Wars film. It has comedy, romance, suprising plot twists, and this film also re-establishes old favorite characters as well as introducing new fan favorites.
No other Star Wars film did as much to develop character relationships and move the story as Empire did. Empire follows the exploits of our heroes Luke, Han, and Leia, as well as the sinister Darth Vader. We are introduced to the exciting characters Yoda, Lando Calrissian, and Boba Fett which also sets up our encounter with Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi.
Written by George Lucas, screenplay by Lawrence...
