Theatrical report

The Empire strikes back is weakest of the three films so far produced because it is the only one that doesn't have an ending.

Now everyone has 80s hair, dialogue and acting instead of 70s hair, dialogue and acting, but it's still hilarious. C3PO is the campest thing on legs. You have to see this to understand the third episode, which is part VI, called Return of the Jedi. But it's still one of the better films of all time.

The plot: Luke and Leia and Han have relocated the rebels to the Hoth system, but nasty Darth finds them and when Luke goes off to get Jedi training from Fozzie Bear, the other two get captured and he has to rescue them but they end up rescuing him except Han gets given to a bounty hunter, tune in next week for the thrilling conclusion.

See? Told you it's fun! See it!
