Watch The 30-Year-Old Trailer For 'The Empire Strikes Back.'

Over thirty years ago, audiences were getting excited about the original Star Wars saga, and now the official Star Wars YouTube channel has uploaded the classic trailer for The Empire Strikes Back  .

Our heroes will "travel to exotic worlds where they meet new alien creatures and evil machines," the voiceover bellows over a set of promotional stills and conceptual artwork. I wouldn't necessarily call Hoth 'exotic' but I appreciate the promotional language nonetheless.
