I know. you told us last time.
Empire has earned its place in the hallowed hearts of many true fans.
I'll agree that it was a delightful post which began this thread. I've laughed long and hard these past couple of days, and I'm glad the forum has contributed. but your aim is like throwing darts at a dirigible in my mind. Ok, so you've a chance to bring it down so throw (yawn, chuckle. chortle.) You may amuse, but you won't change my mind concerning ESB. Perhaps now a number of us can appreciate Jariten on another level. but that's a subgroup to themselves.
Had been sending probes it said. So, what makes you think they just started a day ago? I can live with this. Well, what's for lunch
The Han and Luke Hoth hell of frost episode: I can accept this also. Every James Bond flick begins with him risking his life somehow. What's the point of that? We know Bond won't be hospitalized for the movie.
The energy is cheap, so are lives spent lament was a good point. Since they didn't slow the empire's progress much, why not simply evacuate as they had that reasonable ability. The sooner the better right? leave this wastehole of set piece and interesting change-of-climate behind and the sooner the better. I still like the breath-frost better than swimming with robes.
bang the falcon back to life was a decent gag. A sense of stability in time of change. Disco was dead and New wave had washed, while actual living interested star wars fans got the sequel they had indeed waited for. And I liked the little gun. It bothered me more where the falcon went from three landing struts to four, but you don't seem to mind. Forget I brought it up.
Luke's cutting class and taking off has always shown me an easy exit. I'm not sure that's a good lesson.
Vader and the emperor: the son of skywalker. Later film A Christmas Story would present a similar reaction to Vader's; Ralphie, at Santa's throne forgets his quest for the gun and in a drifted state agrees "(duh) football..." Still, we were introduced to the crux of the six (nine? twelve? what was the betting line back then?) film series. The central character of the emperor who was recast for Jedi and subsequent prequels.
Artoo in bespin at the sill: that always bugged me too. And it was a little like a house of fun adventure. But I actually liked that facet.
overall a hilarious post, and you're not changing my mind.
