Because there is a blizzard outside and I have nothing better to do than drink all the hooch in the house and watch Empire Strikes Back, I decided to compile this list of why Empire is the best movie ever made.
10) Cloud City- You have the Ugnaughts, Lobot, the carbon freezing chamber, Han being tortured, and Lando, the biggest pimp in the galaxy. Overall, one of the more memorable settings in the Star Wars franchice.
9) The Executor- One of the most striking scenes in the first movie was the giant Star Destroyer that kept coming, coming coming into the frame at the beginning of the movie. In Empire, we get the Super Star Destroyer which is waaaaaay bigger.
8) The Imperial March- This has got to be one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. Nuff said.
7) The most disgusting kiss in movie history- If I were Luke, I'd be pretty pissed at Ben. I mean, come on, give a guy a heads up.
6) Vader's on a roll- He really hits his stride in this movie; choking Admirals left and right, bloking blaster bolts with his bare hands, wagging his finger in Boba Fett's face, and chopping his own kid's hand off.
5) The asteroid field- An idea so cool, they brought it back in EpII.
4) Hoth- Everything about this segment ruled; the snow suits, taun tauns, snowspeeders, Imperial Walkers, Snowtroopers and the probe droid.
3)Yoda- This was the first appearance of the Jedi master and, in my opinion, still the best. A truely great performance by Frank Oz.
2) Bounty Hunters- We don't need their scum. These guys spend a short time on the screen, but they're some of the coolest characters in the trilogy. Especially Boba Fett.
1) "I am your father"- For those of you old enough to remember, this line sent shockwaves through an entire generation. I can remember for the next three years, kids debated the validity of Vader's claim. I can't help but to think that the prequels will take some of the weight away from this statement. But still, I can remember a nine year old Jeff sitting in the theatre going "No way!"
Add in the fact that the dialogue in this movie was top notch (esp. between Han and Liea) and you get the best of the best. I have a tendency to get liquored up when I watch Empire, because I got to party with Admiral Ozzel, Admiral Piett, General Veers, Captain Needa, Billy Dee and Lobot, so when I watch this movie, I'm like, "Hey, I partied with that dude!"
