So far Empire seems more funny? I was expecting it to be darker than Star Wars because the movie was darker in tone. I haven't gotten to the battle of Hoth yet. It started off with an entire convoy of rebel ships being destroyed. I said this does seem to be setting a tone. But the scene where Ham is interacting with the deck officer before going out to find Luke was funny. Then once he finds Luke they have a funny conversation.
Deck officer: Is your droid malfunctioning?
Han: No more than usual.
Deck: why is your hand over his vocal opening?
Han: He has a cough.
Luke: What's that smell?
Han: You. I had to put you inside the carcass of my Tauntaun to keep you warm.
Luke: I guess you can cancel all my social engagements for the evening.
