How can that not make you excited to see a SW sequel?
The Empire Strikes Back is far and away the best title in the saga. It evokes so much while also really tapping into the tradition of serialized sci-fi/fantasy Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon type films that inspired George. It's just perfect.

I think ESB is hokey too but it works for exactly the reasons you said. AOTC is easily the hokiest aiming for that ESB element but it goes too far into cheese. The clone wars would have been a better title.
ESB is the hokiest of the OT though.

I think Return of the Jedi is the worst title in the OT. To me, it has that same tinge that AotC has. It's just a hair too far.

I dunno. I guess I'm in the minority here because it really doesn't bother me.

It’s funny someone spotted a nice tie back. In Empire when they’re stuck to the star destroyer the navigational computer (L3) suggests Lando and Bespin to Han
It’s there or not depending on your take but I like it

I thought he was just flipping thru the “map” and came upon Bespin. I don’t remember it suggesting anything.
