The Empire Strikes Back Is A Masterpiece
Posted by LuckyTiger on 1/23/21 at 9:41 am904
The sets were some of the best in film history, I think. The story and pacing were fantastic. The characters were wonderful.
Real puppet, no cgi. Real sets and backgrounds. The carbon freeze room on Bespin with the smoke rising is an all time classic. A crane was used to lift an X wing out of the water. A great story told without preaching.
Watched it last night for the first time in a long time and was still amazed by it.

It's timeless. I've seen it so many times, but it never gets old.

Personal favorite movie of all time. It captures the ever so elusive aspect of timelessness that so many films fail to accomplish.

I like how after Star Wars (1977) you’re led to believe that the romance is between Luke and Leia (if at all).
But at the start of Empire, they just lean right into the Han/Leia romance without any sort of build up. Han expects a kiss goodbye.

best movie in the series, dark ending with Luke essentially attempting suicide rather than deal with Vader as his father

And George Lucas hated this line, and fought against it.

Got up at 7am on a Saturday and my older brother who could drive picked my friend up and his friend. Stood in line for 6 hours to get into one of the theater showings.
Not a single person sat the entire time. We weren't pussies and had so much adrenaline and we talked non stop about what might happen. The hours flew by.
Plaza/Plitt theater at twin city mall. Only had 2 screens. The line wrapped all the way around selber brothers.
One of the best memories from my childhood is when the line moved and we passed the "golden threshold".
I can still feel the excitement I felt that morning. It was off-the-charts.

I have the despecialized editions on Bluray and you're making me want to watch them today

Enjoyed reading that memory of yours.
Reminds me of my own.

To bastardize a quote from Frasier:
The only thing better than a perfect movie is a movie with one tiny flaw you can pick at all night.
The story drags on Dagobah, ever so slightly.
It annoys me the way Lando pronounces "Han".
Otherwise, totally stellar amazing movie that never gets old.

It's not quite as good as Star Wars, but it's an integral part of the classic trilogy.

I was about to pee my pants when the AT-ATs first appeared. I thought those were the most badass things I'd ever seen.

Because they 180’d JarJar being a Sith.

It’s a great movie by itself regardless of affiliation to the Star Wara saga.
One of the greatest movies ever made.

It has a completely different feel than all the other movies.
The rest are great science fiction movies but Empire is a badass thriller in space.
