Even more than The Godfather Part II, The Empire Strikes Back has completely defined what a sequel should be.


Um....no.


Actually, yes. The Godfather Part II is completely unconventional. It's a wonderful film and better than Empire, but it does not define what a sequel should be to its predecessor. The Godfather Part II is completely nonlinear and demands your concentration in a way the original didn't. It's a fantastic movie, but you don't see many attempting to emulate it as far as a sequel is concerned.

That's not what he was arguing. Otherwise he wouldn't have made the comparison. The Godfather Part II and The Empire Strikes Back are two totally different films trying to do two totally different things. Everyone and their mother knows this.
