[QUOTE="TheJabbaWookie, post: 474183, member: 9217"] I totally agree that the last 60 mins of ESB are great. Everything from when they arrive on Bespin. So the Han Carbonite scene, the saber battle and the shock “I’m your father” reveal. As an adult I really like the look and feel of Bespin and the costumes too, though until fairly recently I had been largely disappointed in their translation into the Kenner figure range (Han Bespin remains one of my least favourite figures but I’m liking Luke Bespin more and more). Lots of SW fans today site the Hoth battle as a firm favourite. I’ve never been a big fan. I much prefer the simplicity of the Falcon Gunner battles as they blast their way out of the Death Star, and I don’t think you can beat the Trench run. I wonder if all this stems from my childhood? I didn’t get or fully appreciate a movie without a traditional beginning and ending (cliffhangers must of been beyond me :lol:), and it seemed to translate into the toys I enjoyed playing with too. I never owned many of the ESB Hoth scene Vehicles and playsets. I didn’t get the At-At bought new and only picked it up second hand at a later date and remember being underwhelmed by it, finding it being cumbersome and lacking in playability (I know I’m in the minority). As a result I don’t know if I’ll ever own an At-At or a Snowspeeder as an adult collector. I like the Wampa scene so have a Wampa and Taun-Taun, and like the Han Carbonite and Fett scenes, so have owned a Slave-1 in the past, and would like to get one again. Perhaps these nostalgic childhood memories derived from the toys I played with prevent me from fully appreciating ESB today? [/QUOTE]
