Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back.
-
Released back in 1980 this changed the movie industry for the several decades that followed it. It's almost become a catchphrase to describe the darkest chapter in a franchise as being it's quote unquote Empire Strikes Back and there's a lot going on with this movie that's made it's legacy so impactful. Carrying one of the biggest twists and cliffhangers of all time it also revolutionised special effects and it's impossible to deny how impactful this film was.

I've always thought Han's "I know" line was one of the best lines in film history. So brash, so simple, so Solo. It's cheeky, but the serious look on his face conveys such a different, more tragic feeling that it kind of punches you right in the heart.

The asteroid belt is a really under-appreciated sequence. Han's introduction in "Star Wars" (not to be confused with the apocryphal title "A New Hope") began with his bragging about what a great pilot he was. But we'd never really seen it. The closest we'd come was seeing him sucker punch Darth Vader when Vader was zeroing in on Luke over the Death Star. But in the escape from Hoth, all that braggadocio is finally paid off in one of the most aesthetically pleasing space flight sequences in film history. We SEE that Han is every bit the bad ass he claimed as he pushes an entire imperial fleet to the limit.

I always wondered why Vader stopped Boba Fett from shooting Chewie in that scene: He'd already killed several stormtroopers, and I seriously doubt Vader saved him out of the kindness of his heart 😜 Vader didn't have any need for Chewie, so why not let Fett take him out? Perhaps he was planning on killing Chewie personally, but I doubt that: Vader mostly killed enemies he fought against, or Imperial officers who pissed him off--he didn't have any personal reason to kill Chewie by his own hand. He'd just order someone to execute him.

@@negascoot23 The point was to hurt Han, Chewie and Leia to lure Luke there, not necessarily kill them. And Chewie didn't kill stormtroopers on Cloud City, he just knocked one or two off the platform. Once Vader hears that Luke has arrived, then he orders Han to be put in the chamber. If Han dies, well, that's too bad. But also, he orders Leia and Chewie to be taken to his ship for insurance.

Fett's original voice is so much better than Morrison's... there was no need to change it either after the fact. Fett's original voice seemed tight, like it hurt to talk, perhaps his throat had been cut in a previous battle, or he had been hung damaging his vocal chords... the list goes on. So not only did it sound better originally it also added mystery to the character as to why it didn't match the clone voice.

I've never considered the conversation between Obi-Wan and Yoda to be about Leia. Obi-Wan says "That boy is our last hope" to which Yoda replied "No, there is another". Obi-Wan was aware of Leia and knew she was Vader's daughter. The conversation with Yoda implies Obi-Wan was not aware of this other hope. I've long believed Yoda if talking about Anakin, not Leia. Luke does not defeat the Emperor, he just get through to Anakin within Vader. Anakin is the one that kills the Emperor. Obi-Wan gave up on any redemption of Vader long ago. Yoda was wiser, and saw the potential of Luke being able to get through to Anakin's good side.

In "Jedi" Obi-Wan tells Luke "The other he spoke of is your twin sister...." Obi-Wan and Yoda believe Vader is more machine, twisted and evil. Yet Luke is the only one that has faith in him. Even Leia (perhaps with good reason) hates Vader because he destroyed Alderaan but technically, I think that was Tarkin. He gave the order to "test" the station's power on Alderaan, not Vader. Vader didn't even think the threat of destroying her home world would actually make her reveal the rebel base location (and of course she doesn't anyway).

One of my favourite and earliest childhood memories was of my parents taking me and my Brother to the cinema to watch Phantom Menace on opening day back in 1999 when I was just 4 years old and my Brother 5. Although I have vague memories of watching the original trilogy Star Wars films with my Dad on VHS and playing with his collection of Star Wars figurines, reading the Yearly Annual books and other Star Wars related lore books and bits of memorabilia he could find. He even had a replica Darth Vader helmet which he used to scare my little Sister with when he wore it, it absolutely terrified her bless aha. I also watched Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith in Cinema with my Dad and Brother again on opening night, the only viewings left were late night showings so we got out of the cinema at about 3am and we had school the next day, it was worth it though without a doubt and remains my favourite film in the Star Wars series and one of my favourite films of all time in general.

One of them is grumbling to himself and then just out of nowhere says "I'll see YOU in hell!" This always makes me laugh, the idea that Han's line left this guy out of sorts and upset long after Han had left.

There's so much magic in these older movies, not just star wars. I get disappointed that we don't have many movies that ever come close but also they don't even try. Some of the magic is luck and circumstance for sure but really caring about coherence often seems broken in the story and or the world building. It's probably the current process to make and release a movie more than a lack of love for the craft. Too many executives getting to make decisions about profit or any other reason so that the real story never gets to be fully developed.

I was 6 when Star Wars came out. I was SO invested in the story and expected a tremendous amount when the Sequel arrived. (Yes, I never doubted there would be one.) It's hard to imagine a Six-year-old growing enough to encompass the growth of the story in just three years, but by the time Empire came out, I was ready for it. Even on my first viewing, I wasn't shocked by the much darker tone. That the Good Guys were going to get their behinds kicked throughout the film was telegraphed to me right away. But the sequence of Luke's training on Degobah gave me hope. It pointed to there being larger forces at play, forces that dwarfed the mere men & machines that opposed the Rebels. Ultimately their victory over the Empire would come THROUGH that greater power, not by the strength of their armed forces. They had to fight conventionally, but that was just holding action, until the time was right. Yes, I had those thoughts as a 9-year-old. No, I'm not bragging. Growing up that fast has consequences, few of which are pleasant.

ICANSEE the rebel base". And it is yet another of the many wonderful touches George Lucas was so great at seeding throughout the trilogy. Those details, the ones often seemingly added for mere exposition, but that make the first 3 movies come alive in a hundred different ways. I really miss those sorts of details in the last 3 abominations... I mean, films that have Star Wars in the title.

The scene where they show Vader with his helmet off was important because we didn’t know he was human at that point. A lot of people thought he could be a big robot. We also did not know if Vader was telling the truth at the end and there was some speculation that he could be lying to mess with Luke. It is funny to think about now that the characters have become so iconic but we did not know much about them back then.

When Luke is about to leave, Yoda knows that he can do nothing to stop him, so as a last bit of advice, Yoda says, "Remember your failure at the cave." All to push the point that a Jedis focus is defense never attack.

I saw the RCA Video Disk a few years ago and Vader's TIE was still tailspinning when the scene cut away.

Changing the Luke one doesn't work. Changing the shuttle does, because it makes more sense for him to have the shuttle already there. He should have said, "Alert my shuttle to prepare for takeoff" or something like "Alert the fleet to blockade the planet." The speech by the Emperor to Vader is still odd, whichever version you choose. We also could have used a line telling Piet to "Wait until I give the signal to activate the tractor beam." Or something like, "We also disabled its tractor-beam jammer." Having it fly right next to the Star Destroyer Executor without being destroyed or hit by a tractor beam didn't make sense after it was nabbed in the first movie.

Aside from the fact that Leia is the next character seen I always thought that Yoda could have been referring to Vader/Annakin when he said, “No, there is another.” He’s bathed in the red exhaust of Luke’s X-Wing, a possible reference to a Sith’s red saber and knowing how “…Jedi” ends with Vader killing the Emperor.
