    “May the Force be with you.”
    It’s not an exaggeration to say that without The Empire Strikes Back the Star Wars saga and its sequels would not be what they are today. It’s a masterful bit of worldbuilding and character development, equal parts mood piece and classic Hollywood adventure. It’s an exciting chase, but also a spiritual journey, and it represents for me everything that makes the Star Wars films more than just another science fiction series and a grand example of the rich and rewarding possibilities of popular filmmaking.
