Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back is considered one of the best sequels ever. It builds on the foundation laid by its predecessor and offers some of the most iconic moments in the franchise. From the revelation of Darth Vader's true identity, through the horrors of the Battle of Hoth, and Yoda's introduction to Luke and his becoming his Jedi apprentice are just a few of the significant scenes that have impacted on it being one of the good follow-up movies.
