Brad’s April Escape (May Edition) May 21 - The Empire Strikes Back Throughout the month of April, I ran through 20 films of the Steven Spielberg-George Lucas-John Williams Cinematic Universe, listing random items from each film that stood out to me. Rob and I decided to reserve my entry for Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) for today, the 40th anniversary of the film's release here in the United States. The Empire Strikes Back - An Introduction There's no way I will do this film justice in one simple blog post. Its impact is well-established. It's the film that turned Star Wars from a blockbuster film into a franchise that is still going strong, 40 years later. Empire is firmly entrenched at the top of many people's favorite films list - beyond Star Wars film rankings. But why? What's the thing that has kept this film so fresh and resonating all these years later? I certainly don't have all the answers, but I will ...

By Steve Potter So we begin with two ships docking in space and a meeting between Evaan, Leia's companion and Nien Nunb, who was co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon with Lando during The Battle Of Endor in Return Of The Jedi.  Nunb shows her and Leia  some giant blasters and Leia awards him the necklace she wore at the award ceremony at the end of 'A New Hope' for helping save the Alderannian's from his home planet of Sullust.   The traitor/imperial spy is found aboard the ship and brought to Leia, where it appears she has been duped into telling her sister and the Imperials  all about Leia's plans and whereabouts. Leia comments how nice it would be to have a sibling (she doesn't know that Luke is yet).   Leia sends two emissary's to act on her behalf to a different planet for pre-arranged talks about re-locating the refugees to Espirion, whilst she deals with the new matter at hand and goes to talk to 'Tace' and asks her to tell...
