11.4.13 The second entry in George Lucas' Star Wars trilogy finds Luke Skywalker, the green-as-gra** hero from the first film, now a seasoned space warrior. Luke's Star Wars cohorts Han Solo and Princess Leia are likewise more experienced in the ways and means of battling the insidious Empire, as represented by the brooding Darth Vader. And, of course, "The Force," personified by the ghost of Luke's mentor Ben Kenobi is with them all. Retreating from Vader's minions, Luke ends up, at first, on the Ice Planet Hoth, and then the tropical Dagobah. Here he makes the acquaintance of the gnomish Yoda whose all-encompa**ing wisdom comes in handy during the serial-like perils of the rest of the film.
