The Empire Strikes Back is easily the best Star Wars film to me it feels better made than the others whilst keeping the character interactions plentiful and enjoyful; not to mention the climactic confrontation is so beautifully executed and tense that it feels like such a powerful moment to end the film on without trying to conclude the story.

The dialogue is very well written as it combines realistic simple sections between the characters whilst occasionally interweaving some very thought-provoking exchanges between characters…
