Though, as with most second films of a trilogy, Empire functions mostly as a bridge, it is a powerful and darker view of the Star Wars universe. The internal conflict and corruption of Vader and the attempted corruption of Skywalker are the film's best scenes. Added to this are some more inventive settings, such as the ice planet of Hoth, and some more memorable action scenes.
