My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship. Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

The Making of The Empire Strikes Back
"1983 should bring us the next Star Wars film, moving back eventually, as the end of Empire makes, clear, to Tatooine, and thus bringing the action of the trilogy full circle...
...Even without two more trilogies, however, and even without an Episode 6, The Empire Strikes Back is a remarkable achievement. Subtle and complex, it stands both on its own and in tandem with its predecessor, moving on structurally and thematically from A New Hope to challenge us with the darker complexities of basic human experience."
