The Empire Strikes Back

I was nearly six when The Empire Strikes Back loomed into view, and probably six by the time we got to see it. Star Wars was already huge and now... the Empire was striking back?!

George Lucas anniversary interview at StarWars.

Empire magazine making-of.

Some talk from my 2015 rewatch. Including how to play something like it, with a player definitely having to be up for what happens to Luke in the end...

We got Black Angel in front of it, further setting the “Oh, this is not going to go well...” tone of the title. Especially when, as noted in that introduction, the same step-slo-mo style leaks into the equivalent fight in Empire itself!
