DVDs and BluRay
Irvin Kershner directs this classic sci-fi sequel to 'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope' (1977). After destroying the Death Star, the Rebel Alliance has set up a secret base on the ice planet Hoth. However, it's not long before the Empire discovers their location, leading the Imperial fleet, led by Darth Vader (Dave Prowse/voice of James Earl Jones), to launch a full-scale attack on their location. While Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Leia (Carrie Fisher), Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) and C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) flee in the Millennium Falcon and seek refuge in the cloud city of Bespin, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) travels to the swamp planet Dagobah to continue his Jedi training under the guidance of Jedi Master Yoda (Frank Oz).
