Very few films surpass the original by large margins like Empire Strikes Back does. The stakes are higher in this film, the action is more intense, and we get the first big screen appearances of Boba Fett and Yoda. Some people call Empire a downer, I call it the franchise’s best overall film that they have yet to surpass up to this point.
