The Empire Strikes Back initially received mixed reviews from

critics, although it has since grown in respect, becoming one of the most popular chapters in the Star Wars saga and one of the most highly-rated films in history Some critics had problems with the story, but they admitted that the film was a great technological achievement in filmmaking At the Academy Awards
