| Pros |
Great action space adventure by George Lucas! |
| Cons |
It's a middle-movie, can't stand on its own. Continued next week! |
| Bottom Line |
Hard to be original with a 30 year sci-fi marvel as 'Empire'. Recommended for the cinematic history that it represents as well as a fun popcorn adventure. Recommended. |

(02/21/1997, p.35, Roger Ebert): "...THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK is the best of the three Star Wars films, and the most thought-provoking....This one plunges into darkness and even despair, and surrenders more completely to the underlying mystery of the story..."
