The sequel that dared to be darker also had a pretty downer ending that can often be overlooked by the sheer amount of twists and action that take place in the last act. But 1980's <a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080684/'>Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back</a> definitely qualifies for our criteria. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, Frank Oz, David Prowse, and James Earl Jones. Directed by Irvin Kershner. If you enjoy what we do, please subscribe to our show. Leave us a rating in the iTunes Store and Stitcher.
