[[quoteblock]]Again downplayed for the follow-up film, \'\'Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack\'\' for similar reasons. Many critics \'\'still\'\' did not know what to make of it. But many other critics (who had liked the previous film instead of dismissing the series as junk) and most fans thought it was an EvenBetterSequel, if not just as good, due to factors like the character development of the leads, the new characters such as Yoda and Lando Calrissian, and the new locations such as Hoth, Dagobah, and Cloud City. It became the top-grossing film of 1980, and the second highest-grossing film of all time, behind only [[Film/ANewHope the original film]]. Like the original film, it was also re-released several times in movie theaters, and it also won Best Film at the People\'s Choice Awards. In later years, after more \'\'Star Wars\'\' films were released, most critics and fans alike would consider it the high point of not only its trilogy but of the franchise, making it the best \'\'Star Wars\'\' film, period.
*** Ever since the prequels and especially the sequels, a pervasive myth that \'\'Empire\'\' was divisive on release has been making the rounds. The evidence speaks for itself on the contrary. While there \'\'were\'\' some who preferred \'\'A New Hope\'\' for being self-contained, the response was hardly divisive to the point of dislike and disillusionment as later films would actually create. While \'\'Empire\'\' \'\'did\'\' throw everybody for a loop with its cliffhanger climax and ending, with the looming conflicts unresolved, Han\'s fate uncertain and Vader being revealed as Luke\'s father, people \'\'couldn\'t wait\'\' for the next one. This sort of thing simply wasn\'t done at the time, or [[FilmSerial hadn\'t been done in many years.]] [[/quoteblock]]
