Death Space Car (Live at Cafe Coco 9/14/13)

Our chronological journey through the STAR WARS franchise rolls on with a classic bummer of a story. THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK from 1980 is widely regarded as one of the best films of the franchise and it’s pretty hard to argue with the consensus if you ignore the existence of the holiday special. It’s time to re-examine this sci-fi classic for the final time. Yeah, it’s a good movie, but we’ve seen it A LOT. We’re saying sayonara to the STAR WARS universe when this is all said and done. It’s given us thrills and chills, laughter and confusion but you can keep the emotional investment from here forth. We’re just gonna be the 3,000th person to tell you if they’re good or not. I would strongly recommend NOT going chronologically if you’re going to want to watch them all. There’s a point to going chronologically but the release order seems to be more enjoyable if you think about it. So much memorable and awesome stuff in the Irvin Kershner directed “Episode V” and the prequels really do demystify a lot of the initial feeling of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. This might also be peak worst C3PO so there are some shortcomings. That Luke reaction is quite funny, though. What is cool does stay cool. The Hoth battle and Darth Vader meeting Luke is still pretty wonderful to watch. Our expectations are lower following this one but we will try to keep an open mind and focus on what makes each trilogy what they are on their own merits. Also, you can call me “Daddy”.
