Always nice to hear different opinions. I think it definitely has the most boring absolute beginning to me. Compare the probes and Luke's capture by the Wampa (Not the cave scene though. That's great.) to the opening battle of IV or Jabba's palace in VI. I'll get more into that when I leave my own comment. But I think the story is helped by the fact that Empire definitely shrunk the scope of the plot while still expanding the overall universe. I think it helps flesh out the characters better, and give them more depth. And I love that the plotline is based on a much more personal story in Vader's hunt for Luke. it does end on that cliffhanger, though. I'm very happy I was born after 1983.
