This level of investment isn’t wasted, as one of the most memorable, downbeat finales in mainstream blockbuster cinema is accompanied by close to half an hour of brilliant music. The narrative arc of this film covers more ground than the previous instalment, and with characters and musical themes already established, there’s freedom to cram a lot more in, given that audiences were already emotionally invested. The opening cue accompanying the battle on the ice planet Hoth is absolutely exhilarating, and stands as one of the single greatest action cues in the history of cinema. Like A New Hope, the Empire score starts strongly, and the quality continues right through to the end credits.
