Some fans consider this sequel to be even better than the original. I don’t agree, but this is a very good sequel. Most of the previous characters return and their stories continue to unfold as new characters emerge as well, many of whom, like Yoda and Jabba The Hut, have come to represent Star Wars as much as the others.
The film opens at the rebel base on the ice planet of Hoth and moves quickly into new storylines of Luc continuing his training and Han’s past catching up to him, while the Empire chases the rebels and builds a new Death Star (Oops, that’s not until next movie, but the Empire is doing evil Empire-like things….you get the idea). The story has an exciting high altitude climax and finishes with a ‘to be continued’ cliffhanger ending.
This is an excellent sequel and pleased most Star Wars fans upon its release and continues to today. If you missed it due to a 27-year space mission, your first move after splashdown should be to rent this one.
