you're saying the cause of the problem is Darth Vader - yes, i agree with you.

No, that's not what I'm saying. Saying, "The Villain is the cause of the problem" is not very interesting, because that's almost always true.

In Empire Strikes Back, "the problem" is Vaders to solve. Vader is trying to capture Luke Skywalker. This is what is introduced in Act 1, what gets complicated in Act 2, and is resolved in Act 3.

Normally the hero owns the problem- it is his to solve. But in this movie, the villain owns the problem- it is his to solve.

You dig?
