STAR WARS: EPISODE V – THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, 1980, 20th Century Fox/LucasFilm, 127 min. Dir. Irvin Kershner. Starring Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Billy Dee Williams, with the voices of Frank Oz and James Earl Jones. George Lucas’s action-packed (and surprisingly moving) sequel to the original STAR WARS is everything a great sci-fi/adventure film should be, filled with astounding set pieces (the battle on the ice planet Hoth, the Cloud City), as well as rich and wonderful characters (Han Solo and Princess Leia’s ongoing romance, Luke and Darth Vader’s climactic light saber duel). And don’t forget one of the oddest heroes in all moviedom: 3-foot high Jedi Master, Yoda! This film originally played at the Egyptian when it was released 25 years ago! It opened on May 21, 1980.

I will not be able to make this showing, but I thought someone out there might want to know.
