I can remember seeing The Empire Strikes Back back in 1980 when I was about six years old. I went to see it with my family and they sat through it a second time because I wanted to see it twice. They were all asleep by then, but I was faithfully awake, being completely blown away by the heroics of Luke, Han, and Leia. The visual effects in this film were outstanding. Like the Millennium Falcon being chased through he asteroid field. The attack of the AT-ATs at Echo Station. And the Millennium Falcon flying towards Cloud City. As a child, I always wondered how they created that remarkable location. Cloud City was the highlight of the film for me and remains until this day. George Lucas has a brilliant mind and will undoubtedly make Attack of the Clones (still trying to get used to that title) a must-see film for next summer.
