Thirty years ago to this day,
Empire Strikes Back was released in theatres, and it became one of the most beloved of the
Star Wars films. From the frozen wastelands of Hoth to the slimy mudholes of Dagobah, to the high-flying Cloud City, we journeyed with the Rebel Alliance as the Empire tightened their grip, forcing the ragged band to eventually flee the galaxy. Friends were lost, trusts were betrayed, new allies gained, new enemies made, and new secrets revealed.
I loved the
Empire Strikes Back. From the battle of Hoth, to the chase through the asteroid belt, to the skirmish in Cloud City, to Luke's training on Dagobah, and I reluctantly admit, to when Boba Fett was actually a cool and mysterious talking piece of background. When I was a kid, the AT-ATs trudging through the snow were astounding and the wampa scared the [parasitic bomb] outta me. It's hard to believe that it's been thirty years already.
So, what are your fond memories of ESB? Have any plans to celebrate its 30th anniversary? In between packing, I'm gonna try and squeeze in time to pop in the DVD and watch me some stop-motion goodness. The movement on the AT-ATs are still gorgeous. Seriously, no CG will ever compare. Ever.
