About this product
Product Information
Considered the most morally and emotionally complex of the original Star Wars trilogy, THE EMPIRE STRIKE BACK continues creator George Lucas's epic saga where STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE left off. The Rebel Forces--which include young adventurer Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), rogue pilot Han Solo (Harrison Ford), and the beautiful but seemingly humorless Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher)--have been successful in destroying the Evil Empire's Death Star. However, the Empire's top commander, the terrifying Lord Darth Vader (played by David Prowse, voiced by James Earl Jones), is scanning the galaxy for the Rebels' secret location. After a visually stunning showdown on the ice planet Hoth, the Rebels are forced to flee, and Luke separates from Han and Leia. Masterful storytelling weaves multiple, archetypal plotlines that pit Vader against Han and Leia as he desperately attempts to capture Luke for political--and, secretly, personal--reasons. Luke, meanwhile, finds himself under the tutelage of the tiny but powerful old Jedi Master Yoda, who teaches him the ways of the Force and warns the impatient but talented student against the threat of the Dark Side. Greek tragedy meets a philosophical hero's journey in EMPIRE, a remarkable sci-fi epic in which the performances are as powerful as the spectacular special effects.In 1997 a special edition of the film was digitally remastered with enhanced visual and sound effects. Several scenes--including the one in which Luke Skywalker encounters a deadly Wampa on Hoth--were reedited with more detail while other scenes--such as the one on Cloud City--were added for the rerelease.Product Identifiers

The tape I originally had for many years broke inside the VCR because if rewinding it while playing (lesson learned) and retrosuperworld really came through having a copy and it plays really well and my collection is back in tact and an extremely fair price too.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

"Out of this World VHS Value"
This old Star Wars VHS "The Empire Strikes Back" was missing from my daughters set so I purchased it at a great price. The artwork as well as the age make it a great value and collectors item. There is an older VHS of this movie but it doesn't include the enhanced additions that were added to the "Trilogy" later on after the originals. Highly recommend this particular copy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
