Star Wars V The Empire Strikes Back

Actors:  Mark Hammil, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher
Rating: 10 out of 10, maybe even better than predecessor, huge amount of heart.  As a transition between the original and climatic movies – this may be the best movie in the entire series.  Superb staging for battle on the ice planet and then the introduction of Yoda.  The last 20 minutes maybe the best science fiction sequence ever filmed culminating with the paternity reveal – you forget what an immense surprise this was when it first came out.
MVP:  Ford comes into his own as the scoundrel hero Han Solo
