The impact of some of the special effects may have been diminished because they were essentially the same as those in Episode IV, making this movie slightly weaker than the first. In the previous movie, they were unique, but in this one, they were expected. Still, a superb movie. This entire series is set to go down in history as "Classic," etc. People, in my opinion, had great expectations going into this movie and weren't let down. I wasn't, actually; the movie is excellent. Still, like I mentioned, only a SLIGHTLY less impressive than the first.… Expand

I must be the only one who found this film a bit boring and stupid, Han Solo is good but boy is this overrated.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think this is one of the weakest star wars movies. The trip to cloud city, Cloud city itself, Luke and Yoda training, it all feels boring. The best parts of this movies are in the beginning and end battle. This movie is overrated!… Expand

This is my least favorite Star Wars movie. I don't know why this considered to be the best Star Wars movie out of all of them and bashing the other Star Wars movies negatively? I really think of the issues that I have with this film is: IThis is my least favorite Star Wars movie. I don't know why this considered to be the best Star Wars movie out of all of them and bashing the other Star Wars movies negatively? I really think of the issues that I have with this film is: I really think Irvin Kershner should have fix some stuff that could have been might improve it to be better such as have a scene where Stormtroopers shooting citizens at Cloud City that makes them more threatening, the asteroid scene pacing needs to be better, needs space battles, Luke and Darth Vader fight scene needs to be better, I think Darth Vader should done a dog fight with Han Solo in space instead of being chased down by Tie Fighters, I wished Luke's partner needs more screen time and development for Luke for the Battle of Hoth, have Boba Fett shoot someone, I think maybe have a scene of Yoda mentioned about what happened during at the Jedi Order and his mother to Luke, I think the Wampa scene should have Luke not harm it like Mark Hamill wanted, and maybe have the other Bounty Hunters have more screen time as well.… Expand

The movie is not the worst, it is actually recorded and Filmed well, however, irnos very unrealistic and the movie becomes boring when the battles start as there are many and really fake.
