Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

My overall impression of this movie is that of a good one. This movie was the first of its kind. it set the bar and opened the eyes to new movie producers. I can now see why people say this movie has changed their lives. It really has changed peoples lives, because until then people had never seen anything like it. First off you have a young and dumb boy named Luke Skywalker, who is the compassionate type character, who cares for others well being and not just himself. Also you have Han Solo who is the more selfish type character who only cares for his own well being. Putting these two characters into a story makes for a great movie because it allows for the characters to contrast or differ from eachother. Of course in every story you must have a girl who take the heart of a hero, who in this case is Princess Leia.

Rick becomes jealous of Barbour because he owns a horse and rick only owns an electtric sheep. Rick offers to buy Barbours horse. Barbour refuses to sell his most prized possesion and suggests Rick buys a mouse or a cat. Rick os offended and walks off to work.
