The Empire Strikes Back (1980) is the epic second installment in the Star Wars saga, directed by Irvin Kershner. As Darth Vader (portrayed by James Earl Jones as the voice and David Prowse physically) hunts down the Rebel Alliance, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) trains with Yoda to become a Jedi. The film is renowned for its dramatic twist—Vader revealing he is Luke’s father—and its darker, more emotional tone.
