Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back - DVD

Thirty years after the Empire's fall, it's adherents have reformed into the even more formidable First Order... and legendary hero Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) has vanished into a self-imposed exile. The secret of his whereabouts becomes the focus of a race between a motley band of resisters-including Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac)-and empirical forces spearheaded by corrupted Jedi Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). Much-anticipated return for the franchise from director J.J. Abrams co-stars Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Lupita Nyong'o.
