So I just did a Feminist review of this on my other blog... on Star Wars day I did a review on A New Hope... now onto The Empire Strikes Back!
And again... I'm a little fuzzy on this because I saw it in December... maybe next year I'll do better reviews... but for right now... it's a little bit of a fuzzy review.
I didn't like this one a lot as a kid because Han Solo dies at the end... and I know he doesn't- they all save him... but when I saw it as a kid I was like "No I didn't like The Empire Strikes Back because Han Dies!" So that made me cry as a kid because as you know... Han Solo is my dream man!
I was nervous to watch this again... but actually it I ended up really liking it. As a kid I don't think I liked Hoth or the Wompa or anything... as a grown up- I think it's super cool that they opened the movie on a totally different planet than we've seen before... and that's kind of cool. It's definitely not repetitive in the way all the movies are. They all have a distinct tone and a lot of differences even though they're all parts of the same story!
I also totally forgot about Lando... and I really liked him! I was excited about the Han Solo movie before... but after seeing Lando again... I'm even more excited! He's just a really good character that we don't know a lot about... and it'd be cool to know a little bit more about him! And I'm a big fan of Donald Glover... so that should just be good!
I also didn't realize... this is the movie where all the stuff happens! Yoda is in this one for the first time... Luke finds out Darth Vader is his father. I think this is where Luke loses his hand... lots of stuff happens here!
I think that is everything I care to mention right here... this is definitely the darkest of the original trilogy and I think that is why people like it so much. I still think I like Return of The Jedi better... but I appreciated that C3PO wasn't in this movie too much!
Byeee!
