Star Wars: Movies as a text
If the movie we are watching Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back was turned into a text one of the common themes would be good vs. evil. Luke Skywalker and his team of Rebellions are trying to put an end to Darth Vader and his Evil Empire. Darth Vader wants to capture Leah and Luke for his own pleasure but they always find a way out of it. Another theme would be man vs himself because Luke is dealing with internal struggles trying to free his mind and let the force takeover. Yoda begins to question if Luke has what it takes to become a Jedi. Later on Darth Vader goes through this theme in the third movie when he doesn't kill Luke and is torn between his feelings for his son and the darkside which had engulfed him for a long time.

It sounds to me that this movie you are watching has a lot general themes. These themes that you have you spotted out are abvious to some people. Have you seen any specific themes that are involved in this movie?
Well there are some other themes i spotted like the hero Luke starting off weak and losing to the more powerful Vader but later on learns from a wise Jedi Master Yoda and get over the hump and be able to save his friends. Also the heros narrowly escape from the bad guys everytime.
