Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

“Wait. Are Han and Lando friends?” --daughters’ asked

That took a while to explain.

“Lando used to own the Falcon.”

“SAY WHUT?!?”

giggle

I love you
I know

CLASSIC.

No. I am so in love with you. #LucasFAIL

Here in Europe, the Ewok movies even got a Theatrical release.

Tell them to read the Han Solo Trilogy books (not the ones by Brian Daley) if they wanna learn more. :slight_smile: :smiley:

“…but you are not a Jedi yet.”

Best reveal ever.

OMG!!! Leia uttered the phrase before Ackbar! brainsplode

I love how JEJ pronounced that line.

“Can anyone use the Force?” --daughter

“No. You are born with it.” --talos

“Yeah but Jedi don’t marry or have children. How does that work?” --daughter

“Um…yeah you’re right.” --talos

I advise you not to try the Prequel explanation to them!

“You’ll find I’m full of surprises.”

Like a piñata. :smiley:

Why the frak is Vader using Mace Windu’s pink lightsaber!! December can’t come early enough for Adywan’s edit!!

Seriously!

I love the saber fights. the lights are awesome, even though the pace here is slower than in the prequels.

Appropriately so, IMO. It creates a tension that’s missing in the Prequels.

Ahhhhhh, Artoo rescues the day…AGAIN!

My daughter just shrieked when Luke’s hand was cut off!

“If he wants to combine their strength, why did he cut off his hand?”

hehe

I am your father…

you know it to be true…

I like the bit here that Vader might want to overthrow Palpatine with the support of Luke. Makes the character a bit more complex.

Stunt coordination has improved over the decades. And since GL needed this shooting order for his Chapters.

Ups, there goes his hand, which is important in the Thrawn Trilogy for “Luuke”. :groucho:

While Luke is falling down the exhaust port…

“If that was a water ride I would love it.” --daughter

hehehe

I wish some modern author would rewrite the novelizations of the Original Trilogy like Terry Brooks, R.A. Salvatore and Matthew Stover did so beautifully for the Prequels. Much more insight into the characters like Vader (during ROTS) we got there.

It’s not my faaaaaaaaaaault!
Lando, oh Lando.
