Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) Trailers & TV Spots

Описание: Requested by Bailey Davis.

Collection of all the promotional material I managed to find for what could be called one of the greatest sequels of all time. While I still prefer the original movie over this one (potential hot take, I don't know), I can't deny that this movie does everything a great sequel does right: advances the story in a natural way, doesn't feel like a retread, and tops it all off with one of cinema's biggest plot twists and you've got yourself an excellent time.

And some people misremembering that famous Darth Vader line and doing mental gymnastics to unironically justify that they ended up in a parallel dimension. Apparently. That's still weird to me.

This video is meant for archival purposes only.
