It’s hard to overstate just how impactful STAR WARS was. It is a film that changed the landscape of cinema forever, and continues to be a cultural juggernaut to this day. But it was a movie created by a quiet kid who was into FLASH GORDON serials and experimental art films, and a film that nobody thought would amount to much of anything. For this series, we’re celebrating the original STAR WARS trilogy, and inducting its creator, George Lucas, into the Psychotronic Hall of Fame.
This week, the trilogy continues with a look at what many consider the best of the series, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!
On this episode, discover how Lucas went about conceiving and writing the follow-up to the biggest film of all time, and why he decided not to helm this one himself. We'll get into behind-the-scenes stories on the film and discuss its legacy, not only as a part of the STAR WARS series, but in the greater film world.
Join us next week for the conclusion of this series!
