Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back - Trailer

Watch The Empire Strikes Back theatrical trailer, which debuted in fall 1979 and gave audiences their first look at the sequel to Star Wars. In addition to a sampling of scenes taken from the entire movie, the trailer surprisingly features footage that was cut from the final film, including a kiss between Luke and Leia, C-3PO removing a warning sticket from a door in the Rebel base on Hoth, and more. Most interesting, however, is the voiceover -- provided by none other than Harrison Ford himself.

"And Romance" *cuts to Brother Sister kiss*

I can almost see Harrison Ford rolling his eyes while reading the script for this trailer.

[RandomUserX]

while the movie still felt modern, this trailer is 70's...

[AliTaylor]

Could Harrison say it in a more sarcastic tone?

[Fallenangelzelos]

"A galactic odyssey against oppression". Cuts to C3-PO tearing off a hazard sign on a door.
2 edgy 4 me.

[ZFFertig]

When you learn Harrison Ford did the voiceover for this trailer 😳

[Xenoforge]

Wow I can't wait until this comes out!!!

[Ladondorf]

(1:29) Fun Fact: This is actually a clip from a deleted scene where, during the battle of Hoth, C-3PO takes the label of a room filled with Wampas and tricks the Snowtroopers into thinking that's where they went, leading to their demise.

#ThisDayInHistory 1979 - The first ever showing of a trailer featuring live action from The Empire Strikes Back is screened at the San Diego Comic-Con. Not to be outdone, Disney premieres its trailer for The Black Hole in the same room the following hour. 

[TheVenom]

"Continuing the adventures of our band of heroes..."

*Luke drops dead*

"Luke Skywalker !"

[doxazo]

That saber pull was probably the coolest thing ever back in 1979.

Plus Vader’s breathing continuing after the end of the trailer, genius

[ssdaaFaf]

It's so dense, every single image has so many things going on.

[Cybermat]

"It's an epic of romance!" Cuts to Vader torturing Han.

[maxschrader]

I can hear the sarcasm in his voice when he says “and romance”

[christianspencer]

Harrison Ford sounds like he's rolling his eyes as he says this. Wouldn't surprise me. It's pretty corny.

[Jojo-bkpq]

This is easily the best Star Wars film.

[thegooseman]

Empire Strikes Back is still the best Star Wars film

[NoCureForMe]

This trailer has more cuts than a Marvel fight scene.

[NGrayFox]

0:36 I love how THAT'S the clip they use to introduce the hero. LOL!

The Empire Strikes Back is one of the greatest films of all time and the best Star Wars in the saga.This movie is so great that I can't get how there are some people who actually dislike this film
