Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
The sequel to the original 'Star Wars' (Episode IV) finds our heroes under attack by the Evil Empire. Luke is taking advanced Jedi training from Yoda while his friends are captured by Darth Vader as part of his plan to lure the young Skywalker. A fan favourite, 'Empire Strikes Back', now Episode V, was also tinkered with following the release of the new 'prequels'. Now for the first time on DVD, you can see the Original Theatrical release and compare it with Lucas' revamped Special Edition.
