Irvin Kershner assumes director's duties in place of storywriter George Lucas for the fifth instalment in the Star Wars saga, The Empire Strikes Back.
Widely considered the best of the series, the film is a bold, big space opera sweeping with melodrama, romanticism and big ol' space ships firing lasers. While it is the series' best film, it can't stand on it's own with no real beginning or end to the story. The cold, harsh planet Hoth at the beginning of the film reflects the dread and darkness of the rest of the story. A great achievement in Star Wars history that outdoes the original on every level.
...and yeah, John Williams' Imperial March theme is feckin' awesome.
