Film: Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

DVD: Anamorphic
Star Wars, Episode V- The Empire Strikes Back (Widescreen Edition)

"Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1."
"Never tell me the odds."

Review: This is the best of the Star Wars movies in terms of story telling, writing, and so many iconic moments. Han Solo became the main star in this movie. The DVD commentary with the director, Irvin Kershner is really good too. I think this movie is great because it combines the technical wizardry of George Lucas with Irvin's ability to tell a human story

Favorite Scene: When Han and Lea are kissing and C3PO interrupts them.

"Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder."
"Who's scruffy-looking?"

"I love you."
"I know."

4 out of 4 Stars
