Although the Death Star has been destroyed, Imperial troops have driven the Rebel forces from their hidden base and pursued them across the galaxy.Evading the dreaded Imperial Starfleet, a group of freedom fighters led by Luke Skywalker have established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth.The evil lord Darth Vader, obsessed with finding young Skywalker, has dispatched thousands of remote probes into the far reaches of space....The Empire Strikes Back note also known as Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back is the sequel to A New Hope and the second film in the Star Wars original trilogy.

The Empire Strikes Back / int_11ec1fd5	comment	Off-the-Shelf FX: Due to the scale necessary for the Star Destroyer's bridge model, ILM used an off-the-shelf Millennium Falcon model kit for the shot where the Falcon is hiding on the back of the bridge. Both a potato and a shoe were used during the asteroid field scene. The shoe has a rumored story too — the rumor in question being that George Lucas asked the FX crew to redo the scene so many times that they got annoyed and one of them threw in their shoe. The potato can be seen in beginning of the scene in the top left corner. During the scene where Cloud City is evacuating and Lando and co. are running past them, you can briefly see a man running by carrying what is clearly an undisguised ice cream maker.

In an interview with critic Leonard Maltin for a VHS reissue of the film, George Lucas explains that the middle act of a trilogy is usually the darker, bleaker chapter, setting up the dilemma that the final act solves.

The Empire Strikes Back / int_17ce80aa	type	All There in the Manual
The Empire Strikes Back / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: To get around the Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale issue, supplemental materials explain that the Millennium Falcon rode the back of the Avenger through at least one hyperspace jump, and more importantly that most midsize or larger spaceships have an emergency backup hyperdrive which serves basically the same purpose as a spare tire on a car. Compared to a normal hyperdrive, it's not nearly as fast and won't get you very far, but it's enough to at least limp to the nearest inhabited star system for repairs. Which is how the Millennium Falcon was able to travel from Hoth to Bespin in a few days or weeks rather than a few years (as well how Boba Fett and Vader were able to get there ahead of them). All of this was debunked decades later by The Last Jedi and The Mandalorian, which just lean on space not being as big in the Star Wars universe (as in the Raygun Gothic films that influenced the franchise), such that sublight travel between nearby star systems is reasonable, it just takes a much longer time than hyperspace (days or weeks instead of minutes and hours).

The Empire Strikes Back / int_1cc2ea8d	comment	Villain Ball: Vader picks it up big-time on Bespin. Both Lando Calrissian and Boba Fett complain about Darth Vader's plan to freeze Han in carbonite, Lando because Han is his friend, Fett because he wants to collect Jabba's bounty on Han. Vader reassures Fett that the Empire will compensate Fett if Han dies, but coldly tells Lando that he is altering the deal. Now, consider the fact that Boba Fett is just one guy; Vader could kill him and have his body tossed off the side of Cloud City, and no-one would care. For that matter, Vader could have tested the carbon-freezing process on Fett, and no-one would have minded. Lando, by contrast, is the administrator of Cloud City and has a loyal security force at his command that he subsequently uses to rescue Leia, Chewie, and Threepio, which of course leads to the ruination of Vader's plans. If Vader had been thinking rationally, he would have realized very quickly that Lando was the one he needed to assuage, but Boba Fett he could ignore or even dispose of. So why did Vader do the opposite? Well, Fett was evil and Lando wasn't, so of course Vader would favor Fett, even though it was against his interest.

Things get moving again when they realize they've parked their ship inside a giant space worm and they have to flee to Cloud City. Luke spends a lot of the movie training with Yoda on Dagobah, where he has to learn the importance of being patient and not rushing into situations unprepared. It doesn't quite stick because in the third act he goes rushing off to save his friends and fight Darth Vader, which does not end well for him.

Also, after the Falcon manages to jump to hyperspace and escape near the end of the movie, every officer on the star destroyer's bridge immediately stops whatever it is they are doing to prepare for the wrath of Darth Vader.

The Empire Strikes Back / int_2d4d16d9	comment	I Know You Know I Know: Emperor Palpatine's sole appearance in the film is to inform Darth Vader that he's aware that Luke Skywalker is his son without directly saying it (mostly for the sake of hiding the big surprise from the audience, but also doing so since Vader dissociates himself from his past life as Anakin). However, Vader already knows this, as he mentions Luke by his surname before the invasion of Hoth, and Legends and canonical media alike make it clear that Vader had known for a while. The conversation plays out as a way for Palpatine to safeguard himself in order to ensure that Vader doesn't get any big ideas of getting his son to overthrow him, rather than Vader suddenly getting the idea that he could be a new Sith apprentice (which Vader was secretly already thinking about). Later Special Editions of the film expand the scene between Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader by having Vader pretend to be surprised that he has a son, given that last he knew -- at least to Palpatine's knowledge -- Anakin believed that his wife died before giving birth.

Literally no one expected Han and Leia to become an Official Couple, so the poster stole a major surprise away.

Rather than throw someone else under the bus, he decides to apologize to Vader personally, likely fully aware that it is a one-way trip. Vader, for his part, seems to actually respect this bravery by Needa even though Needa still gets executed for his failure. Subverted with Piett. When the Millennium Falcon escapes the Imperials by jumping into lightspeed (despite his having just then assured Vader the hyperdrive had been deactivated by Imperial agents on Cloud City), the utter terror on his face is palpable. Vader merely steams in quiet fury for a moment, and slowly strides away leaving a dumbstruck bridge crew in his wake.

This leads to their eventual capture, which requires Luke to divert from his training early to save them, causing his defeat by Vader and Han's capture by Fett. Basically, if it had worked there wouldn't be any danger in the film at all past the quarter point. The initial failure is justified by Han's shoestring-and-glue approach to ship maintenance, plus having to evacuate Hoth in the middle of repairs. After leaving Cloud City, the next failure is due to Imperial sabotage.

The Empire Strikes Back / int_554063c6	comment	The scene where Luke enters a cave on Dagobah and hallucinates about decapitating Darth Vader, and the helmet splitting open to reveal Luke's own face. In hindsight, it's a clear warning of where Luke might have gone; it's also a subtle hint to Vader being his father (i.e., there's a Skywalker behind the mask). Vader's line, "Only your hatred can destroy me," is a foreshadowing of the final duel in Return of the Jedi.

It should be noted, though, that Luke never actually fires his blaster over the entire course of the film.

The Empire Strikes Back / int_6e27397	comment	Missed Him by That Much: Played with, twice. Early in the film, after the Imperials have won and are overrunning Echo Base, Darth Vader strides inside with his troops, seeking out his quarry (Luke, though he would likely have been pleased to obtain Leia too, either due to her importance to the Rebellion or to lure Luke as he does in the last third of the film). He arrives in the hangar... just in time to see the Falcon taking off. Except Luke isn't actually onboard (and with the Force, Vader likely realizes this), but he still demands the ship, surely already considering setting the aforementioned trap. Then, near the end of the film, when Luke arrives on Cloud City, he just manages to see Leia and the others being escorted away as Imperial prisoners, and they see him; Leia warns him of the trap, but he isn't able to get to them in time (or realize exactly what she's warning him of—although thanks to Yoda and Obi-Wan, he already is aware of the possibility anyway). Meanwhile Lando also gets a glimpse of him, but still doesn't quite know who he is or why he's so important; he has to wait until the next film to learn this via working with Luke to rescue Han.

The Empire Strikes Back / int_76cbbc0b	comment	George Lucas Altered Version: The big changes in the special editions include seeing more of the Wampa in the cave after Luke cuts himself free, along with some digitally inserted windows behind the characters to show more of Bespin. It's worth noting that this is the least changed out of the original trilogy. Most notable changes include replacing the original Emperor with Ian McDiarmid with new lines, and altering Vader's line "Bring my shuttle" to "Alert my Star Destroyer to prepare for my arrival" and intercutting the Falcon's escape with digital effects of a Lambda-class shuttle approaching the Executor and footage culled from Return of the Jedi to show the hangar landing. The latter is especially strange and serves no apparent purpose beyond extending the run time.note The scene was apparently inserted because the "Bring my shuttle" line wasn't enough for some viewers to explain how Vader got up to the Executor in time to watch the Falcon escape. Perhaps the most controversial change was Temuera Morrison overdubbing all of Jason Wingreen's lines as Boba Fett. Supporters argue that it makes the film tie in better with the prequel trilogy, while detractors dislike it for exactly that reason in addition to it being disrespectful to Wingreen's performance. A Freeze-Frame Bonus, but a Starspeeder 3000 from Star Tours appears as a cameo in the Special Edition.

"Ion" weapons in future installments of the Expanded Universe (particularly video games) specialize in disrupting machinery. But without permanently shredding the electronics as EMPs do. It's implied in one of the stories (IG-88's section in Tales of the Bounty Hunters) that it does permanently destroy circuity and such, but there are usually ways to auto-repair the damaged paths. Hence the temporary shutdown period, between "destroyed" and "repaired enough to function".

He attacks the vision of Vader and strikes him down, only to find his own face beneath the helmet; foreshadowing the danger of his reckless choices (like rushing into conflict) and the dilemma he'll face in the next film when he has to confront Vader without giving into the Dark Side (lest he become him).

The Empire Strikes Back / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
The Empire Strikes Back / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: In the opening sequence, with Luke riding through the snow and Han complaining over the radio, the moment he declares his intention to go back to base, some notes from Leia's theme begin to play. Text says "Han wants to get out of the cold", subtext says "Han wants to be back with Leia". The scene where Luke enters a cave on Dagobah and hallucinates about decapitating Darth Vader, and the helmet splitting open to reveal Luke's own face. In hindsight, it's a clear warning of where Luke might have gone; it's also a subtle hint to Vader being his father (i.e., there's a Skywalker behind the mask). Vader's line, "Only your hatred can destroy me," is a foreshadowing of the final duel in Return of the Jedi. Luke's ability to call to Leia through the Force also foreshadows an important reveal in the next movie. Also, this dialogue between Obi-Wan and Yoda as Luke flies away from Dagobah: When Lando asked Han, Leia and Chewie to have dinner with him, he was visibly concerned when he saw C-3PO got blasted. And was the one lingering back as they leave the room. Yoda's "Much anger in him. Like his father." line foreshadows Vader's reveal in the climax. In his communication with Vader, the Emperor says thereâ€™s "a great disturbance in the Force", foreshadowing The Reveal in the next movie that he is himself a Force sensitive.

The Empire Strikes Back / int_a0db7803	comment	It's Personal: Cleverly played with Vader's pursuit of Luke. Vader's first scene makes it clear he's learned who Luke is in the interim since the last film. So the subtext of his obsessive pursuit of Luke initially seems to be this is payback for Yavin and Vader's humiliation at the Death Star. This is subsequently supplemented with a secondary motive after his "conference call" with the Emperor: direct orders to corrupt the young Jedi and turn him to the Dark Side. However, once Luke finally confronts Vader at Bespin, it turns out the Sith Lord's real motives for pursuing Luke are personal — just not what he (or the audience at the time of the original release) could ever have expected.

The Empire Strikes Back / int_a24495b8	type	Attack of the Monster Appendage
The Empire Strikes Back / int_a24495b8	comment	Attack of the Monster Appendage: In both versions of the film, it's glimpsed first as a suddenly appearing, roaring face with a mouth full of teeth, and then a big ol' arm that attacks Luke and then his Tauntaun. We later do see the full creature very briefly. The Special Edition shows more of the Wampa in its cave, as opposed to one decent glimpse the original version gave. In a deleted subplot that involved a Wampa running loose inside Echo Base before the Rebels managed to trap it in a side room, there's a literal interpretation of the trope name in the form of a Call-Back or Brick Joke (whichever you prefer), when some intruding Snowtroopers get tricked into going and opening the door. The Wampa's arm shoots out, grabs one (who we'll call Private Wilhelm), and drags him in, whereupon Private Wilhelm's companions quickly close the door, looking as confused as Faceless Mooks can look.

When Luke shows up, Yoda is reluctant to train Luke, because he is afraid of Luke turning out like his father. He is discouraged to such an extent that he doesn't even want to bother with it. While Yoda never returns to the action himself, he does eventually agree to train Luke after Obi-Wan encourages him, making his return downplayed but still important. Obi-Wan himself, despite going into exile during this time as well, avoids the trope because he spent his exile preparing Luke to one day become a Jedi, meaning that unlike Yoda he never really gave up on saving the galaxy.

Towards the end of the duel between Luke and Vader, Luke manages to land a glancing blow on Vader's shoulder, giving suggestion that Luke may still be able to turn the tide. Unfortunately, mere seconds later, Vader responds with cutting off Luke's hand.

Although Spencer Ackerman of Wired argued, if Vader hadn't been so concerned with personally taking Luke, smarter Imperial tactics could have ended the Rebellion right then and there. This argument however, was based largely on several incorrect assumptions regarding the Rebels' deflector shield. Despite being overwhelmed for the most part, Luke does manage to get in a couple of hits on Vader, although it must be kept in mind that Vader was trying to capture him rather than kill him. Towards the end of the fight, he nearly cuts Vader's right arm off, causing the Sith Lord to howl in agony and flail about for a few seconds, and had he not been so terrified of Vader, Luke could have exploited this opening and gone for a killing strike.

The Walkers' attack on Hoth is handled like the Romans' battles with Carthaginian war elephants during the First Punic War. The Official Encyclopedia states that the shot of Chewbacca holding C-3PO's head is a Shout-Out to the Alas, Poor Yorick moment of Hamlet. Intentional on director Irvin Kershner's part. Han & Leia's pose in the movie's first release poster (as seen in this page's image) is a reference to Rhett & Scarlett's pose from the Gone with the Wind re-release poster.

Finally, The Last Jedi followed Rey being trained in the ways of the Force by Luke Skywalker, while Poe, Finn, and newcomer Rose decide to go against the orders of the Resistance's seemingly Obstructive Bureaucrat by trying to defeat the First Order's fleet from the inside.

The Empire finds the Rebel base simply by launching scouting droids at various planets. Sure, it apparently took a few years but that would be an insanely short amount of time for even one planet, to say nothing of an entire galaxy's worth. Keep in mind the scouting droid that eventually finds Echo Base does so after conveniently landing about a mile away. Though extras in the scenes do note that this scout droid strategy is a supreme longshot, and the chances of the droids finding a Rebel base are extremely remote. They only attack the base on Hoth because Vader used the Force to intuit that that droid had actually succeeded instead of finding a random smuggler's outpost. The book Choices of One also has Vader look at Rebel supply manifests and concludes from that their base is somewhere cold and barren, which at least is a place to start.

Winching himself up next to the machine, Luke lightsabers away an access panel, then throws in an explosive charge. After uncoupling himself and falling to the snow, Luke sees a series of explosions lighting up the walker's interior that culminate in the command head exploding. The AT-AT legs buckle and it topples over.

The Empire Strikes Back / int_db911ee	comment	Field Promotion: One of Darth Vader's trademarks in the film. In one scene, he chokes the idiotic Admiral Ozzel, and immediately addresses Captain Piett as Admiral Piett, putting him in command right then and there. And with the previous Admiral still choking in the background, there's a very tacit reminder of the consequences of messing up. Meanwhile, the trap at Cloud City fails, but Vader's reaction is different — more disappointment and sadness than anger — so Piett goes on to be one of three Imperial characters to appear in more than one movie in the original trilogy. After all, it was not because of Piett's planning, plus he wasn't a jerk about it. Ozzel wasn't so smart when he decided that being arrogant to Vader was a smart idea.

Fundamentally the film is still optimistic (Vader fails in capturing Luke and turning him to the dark side) and by the finale, even the film's main villain, Vader, thanks to the plot twist, becomes an empathetic figure.

The Empire Strikes Back / int_f2af9fae	comment	Torture First, Ask Questions Later: Darth Vader tortures Han Solo to within an inch of his life. When Han is taken back to his cell, he weakly remarks that they didn't ask any questions. Subverted because Vader doesn't really want any information from Solo (or Chewbacca, who is tortured with high-frequency sound). He just wants Luke to sense the suffering of his friends and come to Bespin to rescue them; also, to test whether Han Solo can endure the painful process of being encased in carbonite.

The Empire Strikes Back / int_f314f8c4	comment	Traveling at the Speed of Plot: Enforced. Luke and the crew of the Millennium Falcon leave Hoth at about the same time. Luke does a hyperspace jump to Dagobah to go meet Yoda. The Falcon, whose hyperdrive malfunctions, tries to evade Imperial forces in a nearby asteroid field. Word of God states that the Falcon's trip from Hoth to Bespin took several months because of the aforementioned issues, giving Luke enough time to get a crash course in Jedi training and arrive on Bespin at roughly the same time as them.invoked

The Empire Strikes Back / int_f3626b09	comment	Mercy Kill: As revealed in the next film, Vader's Force-chokes are intended to be this. For example, Captain Needa opted to confess his failure in the asteroid field to Vader directly because he knew with Vader, at least the worst he'll do to you is asphyxiate you without having to lay so much as a finger on you, and he'll spare your crew as well, which is more than can be said for the Emperor — and Vader, as he very strongly implies to Moff Jerjerrod the next year, appears to have counted on it.

Luke is nothing but respectful towards Master Yoda while talking about him (although the latter is a bit upset about the "great warrior" description), but his lack of patience with the apparent simpleton does nothing to impress.

However, Yoda also suggests that Luke's action might help them, but in the end, Luke is the one who needs saving since Lando ends up freeing Leia and Chewie while Luke is getting knocked around by Vader. Vader tells Luke that he had foreseen the two of them managing to "end this destructive conflict" and "bring order to the galaxy" as father and son. Vader clearly thinks this means We Can Rule Together, and could even have been lying to sway Luke to his side, but the pair do manage to end the war and bring peace to the Galaxy by killing the Emperor.

When they are in the Falcon, it can be explained as Artificial Gravity, but later they go outside to investigate and the gravity is still normal. Averted when the Falcon somersaults into the hole, the hole can be seen moving sideways to meet up with it. When Han takes off after discovering what they're really inside of, he simply turns it around and they are already facing the exit, meaning they were parked (and walking on) the inner wall.
