"The Empire Strikes Back" (1980)
The first sequel to "Star Wars" (or to be technical about it, "Episode V"), "Empire" not only introduced a darker view of the struggle between the rebellion and the evil Galactic Empire, but also a romance between mercenary Han Solo and Princess Leia - and a paternal confrontation between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
