...many amusing scenes, as before mostly involving Artoo Detoo, Threepio and Chewbacca. Lucas' imagination once again lays out its bounty in a lavish and wonderful spread. The invention of Yoda alone would keep many film makers bragging for years. Lucas adds ice monsters, strange-looking beasts-half dinosaur, half llama-that can be ridden bareback, the city in the clouds, and at least one surprising twist of plot involving Luke and Darth Vader.
