The Empire Strikes Back (1980) – aka Episode 5 – is widely considered the best of the eight Star Wars films. The first Star Wars sequel, it's the movie that set the series on course for immortality, introducing characters such as Yoda and Boba Fett, offering the cliffhanging twist about Luke's parentage, and bringing together Leia and Han in a surprisingly affecting love story.
But let's not forget the score by John Williams, which brought to Star Wars the thunderous 'Imperial March'. Now fans have the chance to hear that music played live by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Nicholas Luc.
