Star Wars: Episode 5 - The Empire Strikes Back (The Original Trailer)

Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back. I love the feel of these original trailers. They really make the Movies seem epic.

The voice over style has been used in the recent cartoon Clone Wars series at the beginning of each show.



Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is set 3 years after the events of Episode 4: A New Hope and was released to Movie goers in 1980.

This fifth installment sees the Empire bouncing back from the destruction of the Death Star and its continued perusal of the growing Rebellion. Luke Skywalker confronts and battles Darth Vader for the first time where he tells him those memorable words, "No, I am your father". Luke doesn't take the news well.

As Empire was made many years before the prequels, it was the film to first introduce the skilled and mysterious Bounty Hunter, Boba Fett, Grand Jedi Master Yoda and also the suave business man, Lando Calrissian.

A Special enhanced version of the movie was later released in 1997.

The budget of the Movie was $33 Million and it grossed over $538 Million worldwide.
