Widely considered the darkest and most intriguing of the central
Star Wars trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back deepens the exploration
of mythic themes first essayed in A New Hope. From its opening amid
a besieged Rebel stronghold on the ice planet Hoth to its finale on
Bespin, the floating city run by gambler Lando Calrissian, Empire
charts Luke Skywalker's travails on the arduous path to becoming a
Jedi Knight - a journey that culminates in a punishing face-off
with Imperial warlord Darth Vader, and Luke's realisation of the
dreadful truth about the fate which befell his father Anakin.
Derived from George Lucas's original story, the screenplay was
composed by Leigh Brackett (veteran writer for Howard Hawks and
Robert Altman) and Lawrence Kasdan (who soon afterwards established
himself as a director with Body Heat and The Big Chill). Together,
they produced a psychologically complex piece of epic storytelling,
treasurably enhanced by the verbal jousting - and the affecting
romance - between Han Solo and Princess Leia.
