| REVIEW As with the first film, the second starts by skipping some of the intervening background material. So, we are left to catch up to the plot by ourselves. We find Luke Han and Leia in a new rebel base on a frozen planet. During an isolated scene where Luke is captured by a snow beast we find that his Jedi powers have developed a little more and that the friendship between he and Han has grown even stronger. But not to the point where their rivalry over Leia has abated. The empire locates the rebel base and they all have to turn tail and run. Yes, we discover that the destruction of the death star at the end of the last film was nowhere near the end of the empire. Everyone bugs out in an orderly fashion except Luke who heads off to find a new master, by following the instructions of the now spectral Obi-Wan. Han, Chewy and Leia find that the Falcon is in need of repair and have to limp to the nearest port of call. Luke finds the memorable Jedi Master Yoda, and starts his training. Meanwhile the falcon's crew is in trouble after Han's friend, Lando Calrissian, involuntarily betrays them to Darth Vader, resulting in Han being frozen in carbonite. So it's Luke to the rescue. The problem is that this was Darth's plan all along. Thus we get to see Luke, fencing with Darth. Luke loses his hand but gains a Father. Both against his will |
