At a time when sequels rarely lived up to expectations, The Empire Strikes Back set a new standard, bringing depth and emotion to the galaxy far, far away as a tragic second act to the classic trilogy. A darker story, the film introduced new characters, like Master Yoda, who would become legendary, and left the world stunned with one of cinema’s biggest cliffhangers.
The Rebels are on the run as Darth Vader pursues them in search of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). As Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) flee from the Empire, Luke trains as a Jedi with the ancient Master Yoda.
