Star Wars: TESB

For the past two days we have been watching the movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. First of all I must say that Star Wars series use to be my favorite movies ever as a kid, so i have seen this film and the other ones a couple hundred times. But now that we are looking at the movie in a "text form" i have noticed things that i havent really bothered to notice before. Such as how the evil guy is obssesed in catching the good guy theme. In Star Wars, Vader is risking everything to catch Luke or his friends atleast. Such as when he endangered his ships and crew to chase the millenium falcon in the asteriod field or how he kills his higher ranking officers when they fail him. Another theme that stood out to me is the crazy hermit/wise man theme. Yoda seems to be crazy and somewhat of a goof ball but he is actually a very wise and important being.
