Luke Gets Roasted in Honest Trailer for ‘Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back’ [VIDEO]

It's tough to diss one of the greatest sequels of all time, but the Honest Trailers crew can spot a dark cloud (or Cloudy City) on even the sunniest day.

Empire is easily in the top three Star Wars movies. In fact, most will tell you it's number one. Personally, I prefer Jedi over Empire... and before you say it -- no, the Ewoks didn't bother me.

Empire is great. It's a near perfect movie that has been emulated by thousands of sequels since it hit the big screen in 1980. Every time there's a darker sequel, it's called "getting the Empire treatment" or something equally hackneyed, as this Honest Trailer points out. There's a reason it's the basis for comparison for other sequels though -- because it is, arguably, the best part 2 ever made... even though it's technically part 5. As far as best part 5 -- it definitely beats 'Rocky V' and 'Nightmare on Elm Street V: The Dream Child,' but 'Leprechaun in the Hood' might give it a run for its money.

Even though they do give it to Luke pretty good for making out with his sister and losing a fight to flying boxes, they have a hard time beating this film up too much. I'm glad they mention the pronunciation of "Han" though. That's bothered me for years. Also, spot on with that N64 reference. Keep up the good work, SJ!

If you're reading this, I'll probably see you nerds at 'Rogue One' on Thursday. Buy me some popcorn.
