Great Computer Deals & Information

Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back is, perhaps, one of the greatest science fiction movies ever made. The movie has something for everyone. Love, revenge, drama, and mystique. For people that need somewhere safe to retreat to when the world gets too hard to deal with, don’t forget about episode five.

The reason that it is one of the best science fiction movies made is because it takes the viewer on such a great journey. It starts out on the ice planet of Hoth, were the rebels, after blowing up the first Death Star, have had to run to hide for a while. The planet is barely inhabitable. Yet the rebels have taken refuge there thinking that the evil Empire will not be able to track them out there.

This movie wouldn’t have much of an appeal if the whole of the action took place on Hoth, so it makes sense that we are treated, early on, to one of the greatest battles in the Star Wars universe. The ground battle for Hoth proves just how determined the rebels were to keep doing what they were doing. They weren’t even trying to win, they simply wanted to stall the Empire long enough to get out of the system before getting blown to hell.

Once they have finished the epic battle, the main characters split off. Luke goes and works with Yoda on becoming a Jedi. The training with Yoda proves just how far off Luke is from really being a Jedi, and shows us that, although he is a hero now, he still isn’t the man that he was meant to be.

While Luke struggles with his destiny, the rest of the characters are on the run from the Empire more directly. They are stuck in an asteroid field, trying to evade a fleet of ships that has nothing better to do than spend however long it takes trying to take out Han and Leia and Chewie.

Eventually all the characters end up on Cloud City. Luke fights Darth Vader and learns that Vader is his father. But he doesn’t win that fight. Instead, he escapes, barely, from Vader and gets on the Falcon with everyone but Han, who has been taken away by Boba Fett.

The whole movie is about one small group that is so relentlessly pursued it is nearly ridiculous. The only way for them to win is to not die, or get captured. And not all of them win, as Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett.

In the modern world we can see this happening from time to time. Smaller groups pull of a somewhat large military strike, and then immediately have to escape and evade, sometimes for years, as the people they just pissed off are coming after them. The stories that usually aren’t told are the stories of the people who are on the run. There is great drama to be found in running away.

Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back hits a very emotional note. And by the end, there is really nothing to tell us that everything is going to be okay. There is no way to know what will become of Han or the rebellion. But there is a glimpse, at the end of the movie, of the fleet of ships the rebels have collected. For the first time it seems that, perhaps, they might just have a chance of winning, if there truly are that many people that are fighting back against the Empire. But everyone seems to lose in this movie. The good guys have to stay in hiding, the bad guys don’t capture the people they wanted. No one gets what they want. And sometimes isn’t that just how life is?
