Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
#1
Still the greatest installment of the franchise. I still say this is what made it all happen, a rare example of when the sequel is superior to the original. 

Why doesn’t R2 & Yoda recognize each other? Perhaps they do and just don’t let on. There is one exchange between them where R2’s beep blip beep could be imagined as an acknowledgement. It’s a stretch, but such are fan theories.

Solo works remarkably well to set up Han & Lando’s relationship.

Why does Kenobi forget about Leia? Too much time under the Tatooine sun perhaps. Darth meets her again on Bespin but doesn’t seem to make the connection. Even in a galaxy far far away, women get overlooked, which is ironic since SW has always hard strong female protagonists. Leia does show some force-friendly moments, not just when Luke telepathically links to her. 

Still luv the muppet Yoda more than the cgi one. It’s just more expressive.
