Going into the sequel to Star Wars, things seemed to be going great. Lucas had total control, he wouldn’t have to direct this time, the script was great and it seemed like the problems that haunted Star Wars were a distant memory. What happened was a shoot filled with time and money quickly vanishing, constant problems and a growing fear that Lucas could potentially lose everything. Listen as we go month by month and explore how the movie went on to become the classic that it is was and continues to be today!

PLUS - the Luke’s Fall Fall celebration continues!

So get a loan from Bank of Boston, celebrate the love and listen today!
