The Empire Strikes Back Honest Trailer Reminds Us Why It's Perfect

Screen Junkies has released the Honest Trailer for Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. While typically Honest Trailers are known for roasting movies, they can't seem to find much negative to say about Empire, even calling it "the perfect movie". You see the trailer below:

The trailer really heaped on the praise for the movie, calling it "the peak" of the franchise and "the best sequel". However, they did still include some sick burns, such as pointing out the best movie of the franchise is the one George Lucas is least involved with. And noted the weird pronunciations of Han Solo's name throughout the movie.

They also made fun of the media's tendency to refer to any darker follow-up in a franchise as "The Empire Strikes Back" of said franchise. They declared this REALLY was "The Empire Strikes Back of Honest Trailers", so there. There was also a shout out to Bad Lip Reading with Yoda's trailer name being "I Can Be a Backpack While You Run".

Considering The Empire Strikes Back is pretty much universally adored, it's not surprising Screen Junkies wasn't very critical of it. However, the video still manages to be pretty amusing. What do you think?
