It's got the right balance of story and special effects. George Lucas seems to treat these Filem like they are for juvenile audiences, but Empire somehow slipped past him.

Empire is the Hamlet of the bintang Wars saga. Every bintang Wars film since it has been a letdown, as Lucas heaps battle upon battle, joke upon joke, in a futile effort to bahagian, atas this one.
