Luke refuses to go until he discovers that his aunt and uncle were brutally murdered by stormtroopers searching for the droids.

For 17, credits , 2, in advance and 15, upon arrival, smuggler Han Solo and his First Mate , a Wookiee named Chewbacca , agree to take the four of them to Alderaan aboard their ship, the Millennium Falcon.

After brief scuffles with the Empire and henchmen sent by Jabba the Hutt , the Falcon escapes the Imperial Blockade at Mos Eisley and Han sets a course for Alderaan, unaware that the planet was about to be mercilessly destroyed by the Empire. In Alderaan's place, they find what seems to be an asteroid field.

The planet was destroyed by the dreaded Death Star , on the orders of Grand Moff Tarkin , to set an example of the power of the Empire. The Millennium Falcon is pulled aboard the Death Star by its powerful tractor beam. From hidden smuggling compartments, Solo ambushes two stormtroopers of the Imperial scanning crew.

With Han and Luke now disguised as the two stormtroopers, the group begins to figure out how to escape. Obi-Wan separates from the group to disable the tractor beam, leaving the others alone.

Luke convinces Han and Chewbacca to rescue her with the vague promise of a grand reward. Han and Chewbacca reluctantly agree.

Luke plans to march into Detention Block AA , claiming that Chewbacca is part of a prisoner transfer. C-3PO and R2-D2 are instructed to remain behind, and the trio sets off on their rescue attempt. Luke's plan works flawlessly in that they are quick to subdue the officers and guards in the princess's cell block.

Unfortunately, no one thought to plan for their escape, and Leia takes charge, blasting a hole in a nearby grate and jumping through while Han and Luke hold off a squad of stormtroopers. Chewbacca, Luke and Han all dive after the princess into the unknown.

Unfortunately, the grate covers a chute that leads to a garbage compactor that is also home to a resident dianoga. Soon after landing, the creature pulls Luke under the surface, but releases him and is scared away when the Imperials realize where the heroes escaped to and activate the compactor.

As the walls close in on the foursome, Luke desperately calls to C-3PO over his comlink asking for the compactor to be shut down. Leia struggles to get to the top and Chewbacca tries to unlock the door. R2-D2 manages to shut down the compactor just in time, although, amidst the muffled cries of joy over the comlink, C-3PO is briefly convinced that his master and friends have been crushed. After escaping from the trash compactor, the group hurries back to the Millennium Falcon, hoping that Obi-Wan has successfully shut down the tractor beam.

They encounter stormtroopers on their way to the ship, evading and blasting their way past them. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Obi-Wan, on the other hand, was destined to meet with Darth Vader. After a short duel with his former Padawan , Obi-Wan sacrifices himself, thus becoming one with the Force and allowing Luke and the others to escape.

Horrified and angered having witnessed Obi-Wan's demise at the hands of Vader, Luke takes his final blasts at the stormtroopers and dashes onto the Millennium Falcon. General Dodonna plans the attack on the Death Star, an attack so audacious as to receive an unenthusiastic reaction from the pilots. To add to Luke's dismay, Han leaves after receiving his reward. The Rebel strike force begins its attack on the Death Star, as the space station approaches the Rebel base on Yavin 4. A group of starfighters assaults a trench on the Death Star's surface to hit the station's vulnerable spot before it can destroy the Alliance's base.

During this, most of the Rebel craft, including Luke's friend Biggs Darklighter , are picked off by Imperial fighters led by Darth Vader. Luke, aided by the voice of Kenobi and guided by the Force, accurately fires two proton torpedoes into a small exhaust port leading to the Death Star's reactor, and the battle station explodes.

During post-production on his previous film, American Graffiti , Lucas repeatedly discussed the concept of a " space opera " with producer Gary Kurtz. Studios shut down his studio of American Zoetrope and thus forced him to hand over development to his compatriot, Francis Ford Coppola.

His note for the basic plotline for the film, which was intended to be a response to the Vietnam War era, was that it involved " a technological empire going after a small band of freedom fighters.

Lucas later proposed that terms like "space fantasy" or "science fantasy" better fit the story. Although Ladd did not grasp the technical side of the project, he believed that Lucas was talented. Lucas later stated that Ladd "invested in me, [but] he did not invest in the movie.

Lucas finished a draft of the screenplay in May As the draft developed, the characters evolved significantly. Early in development, Luke Skywalker's character changed from a year-old general to a member of a family of dwarfs ; [5] [11] the Corellian smuggler, Han Solo , was envisioned as a large, green-skinned monster with gills. Instead, he expanded the first third of it into one movie and left the rest for two future films, effectively creating the original Star Wars trilogy.

Lucas hired conceptual artist Ralph McQuarrie to create paintings of certain scenes during screenwriting. When Lucas delivered his screenplay to the studio, he included several of McQuarrie's paintings. For Lucas, this deal protected Star Wars ' unwritten segments and most of the merchandising profits. Most of the visual effects used motion control photography , which creates the illusion of size by employing small models and slowly moving cameras.

Model spaceships were constructed on the basis of drawings by Joe Johnston , input from Lucas, and paintings by McQuarrie. Lucas opted to abandon the traditional sleekness of science fiction by creating a "used universe" in which all devices, ships, and buildings looked aged and dirty. When filming began on March 22 , in the Tunisian desert for the scenes on the planet Tatooine , the project faced several problems. After completing filming in Tunisia, production moved into the more controlled environment of Elstree Studios , near London.

Harrison Ford found the film "weird," in that there was a princess with buns for hair and what he called a "giant in a monkey suit" named Chewbacca. Lucas clashed with Director of Photography Gilbert Taylor , whom producer Gary Kurtz called "old-school" and "crotchety. His camera suggestions were rejected by an offended Taylor, who felt that Lucas was over-stepping his boundaries by giving specific instructions. Lucas eventually became frustrated that the costumes, sets and other elements were not living up to his original vision of Star Wars.

He rarely spoke to the actors, who felt that he expected too much of them while providing little direction. His directions to the actors usually consisted of the words "faster" and "more intense. Ladd offered Lucas some of the only support from the studio; he dealt with scrutiny from board members over the rising budget and complex screenplay drafts.

After production fell two weeks behind schedule, Ladd told Lucas that he had to finish production within a week or he would be forced to shut down production. The crew split into three units, led by Lucas, Kurtz, and production supervisor Robert Watts , respectively. Storyline Edit. The Imperial Forces, under orders from cruel Darth Vader, hold Princess Leia hostage in their efforts to quell the rebellion against the Galactic Empire.

It's Back! The Force will be with you for three weeks only. Action Adventure Fantasy Sci-Fi. Rated PG for sci-fi violence and brief mild language. Did you know Edit. Trivia George Lucas was so sure this movie would flop that instead of attending the premiere, he went on vacation to Hawaii with his good friend Steven Spielberg , where they came up with the idea for Raiders of the Lost Ark after they found out Star Wars became a success.

This goof was highlighted in the remastered version with a comedy "donk" sound effect. Quotes [Han answers the intercom after comandeering an attack station] Han Solo : [sounding official] Uh, everything's under control.

Voice : What happened? Voice : We're sending a squad up. Voice : Who is this? What's your operating number? Han Solo : Uh Crazy credits The film has no opening credits. Instead, the first credits seen at the end of the film are presented in the order in which they would have otherwise been shown at the start.

Obviously, he's completely computer generated in the new films, but here in Episode V he looks like a muppet! Even so, I would like to express my opinion that Yoda is more realistic and more interesting here as a puppet than in the newer films as a computer generated image. At least here in the older films you know that he's actually THERE, and that he's not just added into the film later.

Oh yeah, speaking of Yoda, can I just complain for a minute? What the hell was up with the Jedi training? Yes, I realize that I'm just a lowly IMDb reviewer, while The Empire Strikes Back is a part of the greatest science fiction series of all time, but would it have killed George Lucas to write in a little more creative training for Luke?

The thing that struck me first about the Star Wars films when I first started watching them was how incredibly imaginative they were, but then Luke started his training. You know, when I was in high school I played football. Some of these guys weighed pounds more than me, and I still almost never saw the field, and here's Luke Skywalker.

He carries Yoda around this boggy swamp and he gets to be a Jedi! What the hell! There is also the addition of a surprisingly fitting love story. First of all, anyone who has ever read my review of a Jerry Bruckheimer movie will know that I am not the biggest fan of cramming a love story into a movie where it doesn't belong. I can't seem to write anything about Bruckheimer movies without complaining about the idiot love story, and now it's even worse because here's this movie that was made so long before, from which Bruckheimer could obviously have at least learned a LITTLE bit about how to do it right.

Smart-ass to the last drop. Before I end I would like to point out that the goofs that can be found on the IMDb for this film are some of the most blatant that I've ever seen in a film. I have one question about the goofs, though. Is that meant to be Luke? It is, however, a testament to the quality of a film when such tremendous oversights in editing do nothing to take away from the overall quality of the film. The Empire Strikes Back remains an extremely powerful and well-made installment in the Star Wars series, not taking even a single step backwards in the sheer breathtaking adventure of the original film.

It's not often that a film as good as Star Wars can be released and then followed up with a sequel that is just as great, as is clearly the case here. He is greeted by Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod , but demands construction be put back on schedule in order to complete the Death Star on time.

Jerjerrod argues that they need more men, but quickly agrees to double their efforts when he learns that the Emperor is coming. Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker and company have arrived on Tatooine in an attempt to rescue their friend Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt's desert palace. In exchange, the two droids are presented as gifts to the crime lord; Luke promises that both are hardworking and that they will serve him well, which Jabba agrees to silently. However, when the message finishes, he states that there will be no bargain and that he won't give up his "favorite decoration".

The two droids are then sent to their quarters, where EV-9D9 harshly barks at the two when they explain what they can do. Jabba, engaged by the graceful gyrations of his collared slave girl Oola , starts tugging on her chain and commanding her to come to him on his throne.

Oola fearfully resists him, and in annoyance, Jabba pushes a button on his throne, and Oola is dropped through a hidden trapdoor at the foot of his throne, into the pit of the Rancor monster, which immediately devours her. Later, Princess Leia Organa in the guise of bounty hunter Boushh arrives with Chewbacca as her "prisoner" to collect part of the bounty Jabba sought years earlier when he put a price on Solo's head. After much bargaining including Leia threatening Jabba with a thermal detonator , Jabba settles on a deal, and has Chewbacca imprisoned.

That night, Leia releases Han Solo from his carbonite coffin, and after revealing her identity to him, she kisses him. As they prepare to escape, they are caught by Jabba and his thugs. Ignoring Han's pleas, Jabba has the captain thrown in prison with Chewbacca.

Although Lando Calrissian disguised as one of Jabba's prison guards tries to sneak off with Leia, Jabba stops them and orders a Gamorrean guard to bring Leia to him.

Leia is forced to become Jabba's newest slave girl, chained to the dais in a dancing costume as a trophy. Later, Luke arrives at the palace. Jabba and most of his thugs are asleep, but are awoken by Bib Fortuna who, in trying to impede the Jedi's entrance, is Force-tricked into welcoming him.

Leia remains silent beside the Hutt, despite her rising hope at seeing Luke. Luke demands that Jabba release Han and his other friends, but Jabba refuses the young Jedi's offer. Luke uses the Force to pull a nearby blaster and attempts to shoot Jabba, but the Hutt activates the trapdoor to protect himself, dropping the Jedi and an unfortunate guard into the Rancor pit.

After a battle with the Rancor which devours the fallen guard , Luke ultimately kills the monster by crushing it under the gate of its compound, piercing its neck with the spikes at the bottom of the gate.

He is then recaptured and brought up by Jabba's minions. Jabba, furious, chokes Leia until she falls back on his stomach, and orders the prisoners to be brought before him. Luke, Han, and Chewbacca are brought before Jabba, exchanging relief at each other's safety as Leia struggles with Jabba to sit upright before him.

Luke warns Jabba that he's made his last mistake, at which the Hutt laughs in amusement. En route, R2-D2 is tasked with serving drinks to Jabba's guests, and the Max Rebo band plays music in the background. Jabba allows Leia to climb off his throne and watch her friends from a window; after a while, he gives a tug on her chain, playfully commanding her to come to him.

Leia glares back at him, but as the chain is slack, she returns to watching, and Jabba chuckles. Bib Fortuna, seeing this, joins him on his throne. Outside, Luke and his companions with Lando, still in disguise are being taken to the Pit of Carkoon on one of the land skiffs accompanying the Sail Barge.

Han, still half-blinded from the side-effects of carbonization , is sure that they are all going to die, and Luke tries to reassure him of their ultimate safety, but Han is not easily convinced.

Jabba allows Leia to leave his side only so that she may witness the execution of her friends. When the vehicles ultimately reach the Pit, Jabba has C-3PO announce the group's deaths, but that he is willing to now listen to their pleas. Han calls Jabba names and tells him that he'll not get any pleasure from their pleading, much to the Hutt's amusement, and Luke offers a final chance for Jabba to free him and his friends or die.

Jabba and his guests laugh off this last threat and order the execution to commence. Luke gets ushered off of a plank and into the Sarlacc, only to Force-flip up through the air and onto the skiff. Meanwhile, R2-D2 launches Luke's recently built lightsaber from a hidden panel in his housing, and Luke catches it and begins to kill his captors. As Jabba furiously orders his bustling guards and thugs to intervene, C-3PO gets knocked over. Leia looks around, ready to use her false submission to the Hutt to her advantage.

Boba Fett uses his jetpack to fly off of the Barge and land on the skiff as Luke is in the act of freeing Han and Chewbacca. Luke uses his lightsaber to cut Fett's blaster in half, and Chewbacca pushes the bounty hunter onto the deck.

Luke then jumps onto another of the accompanying skiffs to fight off the guards and thugs there. While fighting a guard, Lando accidentally falls off the side of the skiff, and although he manages to hold onto a wire, one of the Sarlacc's tentacles begins to pull him to his death, and Han and Chewbacca have to carefully rescue him.

Han accidentally activates Fett's backpack when he turns around and smashes the butt of an axe against it. Fett subsequently flies out of control from the skiff, crashing against the hull of the Barge before falling into the Sarlacc's open mouth, making it belch. Aboard the Sail Barge, Leia smashes the controls for the Sail Barge's interior lights, throwing it into darkness, and proceeds to strangle Jabba with her chain, killing him, Leia jumps off of the throne and has R2-D2 help break her chain, then heads for the stairs to the top surface of the Sail Barge.

Meanwhile, Salacious B. Reaching the surface, the droids jump off the edge of the Sail Barge and land in the Tatooinian sand.

Luke and Leia defeat the remaining guards on the Sail Barge, then Luke has Leia point the guns toward the heart of the vehicle.

They prepare to swing from a loose cable on the Barge's sails, and Luke discharges the guns, beginning to destroy the Barge. They swing to their rescue on the land skiff with Han, Lando, and Chewbacca, then use magnets to pick up the two droids from the sand. They all drive off just as the Sail Barge explodes.
