Star Wars is far better paced than Empire strikes back.
After C3P0 and R2 crash on Tatooine the film doesn’t pick up back again until R2 runs off to find Obi-Wan. ESB is constantly exciting and there’s no lull like there is in STAR WARS.
Star Wars ends on a high
ESB ends on a low. There are so many things left unfinished that it makes you want to watch ROTJ immediately afterward. I can’t say the same for STAR WARS.
