Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

I quickly wanna start off with showing yall the DVD intro because damn it’s really cool

so this movie starts with the empire sending down imperial Probe Droids…..they get sent down to locate the secret rebellion base…….anyways Luke thinks he sees a meteor crash on thr snow planet Hoth…..and  he’s riding on his Taun Taun….(think of them like um kangaroos mixed with horses)…so anyways right as he is about to explore the “meteor”…..a Wampa comes out and attacks luke and kills his Taun Taun……if ur wondering what a Wampa is……its like the Yeti….in fact that what George Lucas based this creature on…..so anyways back to the base….Han Solo is about to leave because he needs to pay Jabba the hut before his bounty on his head catches up to him (meaning jabba has bounty hunters to hunt Han Solo down and kill him)…..so anyways he tries to go tell Leia he is leaving and he was hoping she would kiss him……blah blah…anyways, Han finds out luke gone missing and goes on a Taun Taun and tries to find his friend…..so back to luke …..he is in a cave hung upside down…and he uses the force to grab his Lightsaber that’s on the floor…..and he grabs it cuts the ice off his feet…and the Wampa comes towards him and Luke cuts off the Wampas arm…..rated PG?….really!?……so luke gets out of the cave and and falls unconscious….because he’s injured and freezing because there is a heavy snow storm happening…..so before he falls unconscious he sees Obi-Wan ghost…and he tells luke to go to three Dagobah system…to find Yoda…..Han finds luke and um then his Taun Taun dies and then he cuts open the Taun Taun stomach and outs luke inside it to keep luke warm…..eww…..so let’s skip a bit……empire finds secret base….the empire sends down there army which include big weapon called AT-AT…..there big slow moving machines…….so anyways luke gets into a ship and goes out with men and start trying to take down the AT-AT……long story short the rebellion lose, and the empire destroy the rebellion base and shield reactor……oh side note the actor who plays the emperial officer who’s in the AT-AT……that blows up the shield reactor……yeah that actor he also played the villian Donavon in Indiana Jones 3….just thought I’d point that out  …so anyways vader does come down on the planet and goes inside the base and tries to find the Millennium Falcon……but of course Han and Chewbacca and C3PO and Leia escape on the Falcon right as they fly off….so luke flies off with R2D2 to Dagobah….long story short…they crash land on Dagobah…and its a dark eerie foggy swampy vines and tree covered planet….so he bumps into Yoda…and its funny…..he basically acts like a old man who’s trying to go through Luke’s stuff to search for something that would interest him……oh and Yoda ends up taking Luke’s flashlight…which ends up with R2D2 trying to grab it from Yoda and then Yoda grabs his stick and starts hitting R2D2…..

Here’s a clip of the first time we see vader without his helmet on

….so anyways back to Han and his group…..there hyperdrive system is having problems…and the empire is chasing them down…..also Han and Leia kiss…..also in this film we see vader talking to a hologram of the emperor….and he tells vader that Luke is vaders son…..dun dunnnnn…..in a way vader does try saving his son…the emperor tries to get vader to kill his son but we see a sliver of vaders dad side….he well tries to avoid killing his son by telling the emperor how about i try to turn him to the dark side…here’s the scene let me know what u think

So anyways back on Dagobah….luke finds out the small creature he is eating dinner with is master Yoda…and he tries to get Yoda to train him….so yeah he does start training luke…so anyways, luke sense something is not right…and this leads to a scene that um well gave me nightmares as a child…..here’s some clips enjoy…..i’ll also try my best to describe it

This scene is um hm…..dark……yeah let me elaborate on that……so this scene is eerie…..the atmosphere is already eerie looking then this eerie music starts playing….then well Yoda tells luke to not take his weapons with him into the cave that Luke goes into…..but luke being luke…he takes his weapons anyways because we all know he ain’t a good listener….ah well what u going to do?..🤪…….hehe sorry trying to lighten the mood…so anyways luke goes into this cave thats completely dark and has vines everywhere in the cave…..and of course there’s eerie music…and luke is walking…and guess what we start hearing foot steps getting close to luke and right around the corner we see vader walking up to luke…in slow motion…thats right the rest of this scene is in slow motion….and luke pulls his Lightsaber out and so does vader…they fight…in slow motion…then luke cuts vaders head off and we see his headless body fall onto the floor…then we see his severed head rolling on the floor…and right as luke looks at the helmet…the helmet explodes…and guess who he sees inside the mask?…he sees his own face looking back at him……yeah thats right this decapitated head of Luke Skywalker…looking at luke…..um….happy dreaming and a happy near year….Lolo just kidding….but my god this scenes Grimm…..the message is if luke continues down his reckless path he will be turned to the dark side……well…message retrieved…my god…..so anyways…..back to vader……the real vader……vader is now sending bounty hunters to bring him the Millennium Falcon….and he sends Boba Fett specifically as well…this is first time we see Boba Fett…..so blah blah….Han and his group head to see his friend  Lando calrissian….who lives in a city called cloud city….its a city up in the clouds…..so they go there and Boba Fett Is tailing the Millennium Falcon  ….in his own ship called the slave I……its a repainted ship of his dads…..so he repainted his dads ship …nice and as for his armor…miss repainted rusted dads armor….so anyways they head to cloud city…..Luke gets a vision of his friends dying…..so he being stubborn decides to leave his training and leaves to go save his friends….even Obi-Wan tries to convince Luke to stay…but no Luke being Luke….he is like ah but my friends they will die gots to go save them, will be back I promise…….so anyways Han and Chewbacca and C3PO and Leia make it to cloud city….they meet Lando calrissian (played by Billie D Williams) and his side partner named Lobot…..yeah its…um a weird name……so to skip a bit Leia is the only one who’s suspicious of Lando….also C3PO goes missing…..but he’s found later by Chewbacca…and C3PO is blown to pieces……he brings C3PO back to there room and they leave him there while Lando takes them to have a little feast with him….

So anyways Lando is telling them and Han Solo his best friend…that he has made a deal that will keep the empire out of his city forever….(spoiler alert he lied)….he opens the dining room door and there is Darth vader sitting across the table….and he gets up and han decides to try to shoot vader…but vader uses the force to deflect the bullets shooting towards him….he tells them they will be horned if they will sit down with them ..then Boba Fett comes out of back room…and now Lando finally admits they got there before his friends got there..and he had no choice to do what vader told him to do…..so yeah what a great friend….so anyway vaders plan is to freeze Han Solo in Carbonite to test if it works….so he can then freeze luke in Carbonite to send him to the emperor…. and of course Boba Fett gets to keep Han and take him to Jabba……so anyways Han gets frozen in Carbonite…..before that him and Leia kiss…..and then well luke makes it to cloud city  ……also heres the scene of han getting frozen

Also if ur wondering what convinces Lando to change back to the good side…well first off he’s upset that his beat friend has been frozen then been given to a bounty hunter……then well vader did say that Leia and Chewbacca will be left in the city under Lando supervision…but of course after Han gets frozen….vader alters the deal and tells Lando to take the princess and wookie to his ship….of course that does upset Lando a bit he says thought u said they stay here under my supervision…and here’s comes my favorite line from vader….”I’m altering the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further”…. I like that line alot…..so then Han gets transported to Boba Fett ship….luke goes and faces vader…but I guess u can guess how well this fight goes for luke…think about luke isn’t even trained he only trained for days a week something like that and vader was already the chosen one when he was a jedi and now as a sith lord is more powerful and on top of that he has killed hundreds of people and he has had decades of learning to fight and use the force…yeah um no offense luke but no matter how much confidence u have….ur still fricked….. so Lando frees Leia and Chewbacca…and they go try to save han…..but Boba Fett flies away with Han….and Lando and Leia and Chewbacca and C3PO and R2D2 make it to the Millennium Falcon…….and as for luke and vader…well vader cuts bis sons hand off then tells him he is Luke’s father….which well makes luke unhappy…don’t blame him…..anyway vader is saying to luke u have no way out of this….because luke is standing on a metal beam that’s hovering over a huge bottomless pit…so his options is to jump off or join vader…and without luke even knowing there is a hatch down in the pit…he just jumps…yeah he tried committing suicide…how wonderful…..so anyways Leia senses luke and she turns the ship around to go save Luke….he is now dangling off a pipe that hanging over the bottom of cloud city…..so they save luke…vader makes it back to his ship….vader uses the force to try to convince Luke to join him…..and the film ends with luke getting a new hand and Lando and Chewbacca heading to tatooine to find Han…..what my thoughts on this film…I freaking love it….I highly recommend watching this film…im gonna give it a solid 10/10
