Star Wars V: Plot Summary HW

   The film, Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back, begins with a setting of a frozen, remote ice planet called Hoth. Luke Skywalker along with others of the Rebel Alliance have been forced into hiding in this cold, terrible place. During his turn patrolling around the base camp, Luke find a curious meteor crash. At the exact moment, he gets attacked by Wampa (the snow monster), and taken as its prisoner. At the same time, Darth Vader, who is obsessed with trapping Luke Skywalker, have already landed in the planet Hoth along with his Storm Troopers.
    Trying to escape from the Wampa, Luke is able to use his lightsaber to cut out his arm. However, he isn't resistant to the freezing weather outside of the Wampa's cave. Just before he collapses, the spirit of his late mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi materializes, instructing him to had towards the planet Dagobah, in order to train the Jedi master, Yoda.
     Han Solo, Luke's friend, is able to rescue him, before he's warned that Darth Vader had ordered an attack on their base (on Hoth), after finally locating it. Han Solo, along with princess Leia escape on a ship called the Millennium Falcon towards hyperspace, with the help of their friends, C-3PO and Chewbacca. Luke is also able to escape from Hoth with R2-D2, and accidentally crash lands on Dagobah, where he meets Yoda. He is immediately put under intensive training, but not for long. Luke has a vision of his friends, Han and Lei in danger. So against his master's advice, he leaves to help them, under swearing an oath to return.
     I find this movie very captivating, for it's like a time warp, a window that lets me see how people from the 1980's were able to enjoy this film. It gives me a chance to be able to appreciate it more, under its circumstances. It's true that technology has evolved a lot since that movie was last made, but you have to admit that for a film created back then, it's pretty amazing. All that puppetry or special affects were still being introduced in the world of film making. I think they did a great job of putting it all together. The music also has a special quality of tying the whole movie together. In overall, I'm really enjoying this film, and can't wait to finish watching it!
