    Moment at 1:37 represents the Heart and Soul of Star Wars. The Characters. We Cared. Where are these people going and what's going to happen to them? These were burning questions because producers, screenwriters, directors, and actors had taken care to instill character virtues and flaws we would recognize in ourselves and others. The audience had become emotionally invested.

      That's how we knew Lando wasn't really a villain, just a guy who got himself in over his head. He never wanted anyone to get hurt, least of all for his friend to be frozen in carbonite. Thankfully he found the courage to get himself and his friends out of their plight.

    "The Alliance's fleet is limping along at a slow pace. Another visual similarity could be, like, a beat army heading back to its base in defeat. The music is mostly somber.

    In 1980, few films until then generated so much expectation for their outcome. Possibly none other before TESB. Imagine, after two movies our heroes were disintegrated and we had to wait 3 years! so that they meet again, and we see the end so dear. Nothing Disney did will top this masterpiece.

    I'm not sure what the current canon says about this scene, but a lot of the older expanded material interpreted the galaxy in the distance as meaning the rebels were beaten so bad in the movie they were forced to retreat outside the galaxy itself, and I think that interpretation really captures the low point the movie ended on, even while showing that the fight isn't over because they're still alive.

    Ah yes, The Empire Strikes Back is one of my absolute favorite sci-fi films, it is the second best Star Wars film along with Star Wars 1977, and The Empire Strikes Back had stellar direction by Irvin Kershner. The Empire Strikes Back was the sci-fi film that came out after Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Disney's The Black Hole in May 1980, the cliffhanger ending of The Empire Strikes Back was satisfying, and I also love both Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Disney's The Black Hole from 1979. The Empire Strikes Back had an excellent John Williams music score, Star Trek: The Motion Picture and The Black Hole both had brilliant music scores by Jerry Goldsmith and John Barry, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture along with The Black Hole with Robert Forster are both the most underappreciated sci-fi films of all time.

    The last 10 minutes or so of "Empire" is the best part of the original trilogy, and therefore obviously better than the entire prequel and sequel trilogies put together, doubled and squared. It's amazing. It burned onto my memory when I first saw it on TV at the age of about eight, then when I got hold of a VHS in the mid-1990s I watched the last act on repeat. Just magical.
    And this final scene... I love "Jedi", but if the entire series had ended here, it would have been a magnificent end.

      @@sadeaton I suppose Aliens and Terminator 2 are the two obvious candidates. I tend to discount T2 from this debate as I see it more as a remake of The Terminator than a genuine sequel, but that's just me. It's pleasing that Empire has gradually got the recognition it deserves over the last few decades - it took a while, but people got there in the end.

    To Those of You who are criticizing the Cliffhanger Ending of "Spider-Man ATSV" just watch this film or better yet the ending scene of this and understand that people in 1980 who saw this probably thought the same thing too. sure, that Across the Spider-Verse's Cliffhanger ending was too quick than Empire Strikes Back, but it sets up the finale in a totally masterful way, just like how this one did in 1980.
