Review of The Empire Strikes Back (1980) by Kyle B — 21 Oct 2018
The pinnacle of expounding on great storytelling in the continuation of the mythological-film that changed everything. Villains reach epic heights in their attempt to catch the Rebels, and heroes see bottomless lows as the Empire haunts their steps.
The next chapter examines protagonists as they change from adolescents in this coming of age story. Every-man Luke Skywalker takes an unexpected turn on his Rebellion-led path and emerges haunted by the murky truth and lies crafted around him.
Leia is faced with peril and revelations she cannot acknowledge except in the height of stress. Han's smug bravery and brashness are put to the test as our favorite scoundrel comes to terms with his past and destiny.
The Star Wars saga lives on in this film, reaching herald heights none of us could ever quite anticipate or imagine. The stories from a galaxy far, far away will teach generations henceforth the craft of modern mythology, ethos, and pathos.
Many movies will strive to achieve this capstone, but none will dethrone this majestic champion.
