It\’s apparently the 30th Anniversary of the release of The Empire Strikes Back, a fact which Spike TV is using to run a Star Wars marathon all weekend. So that\’s cool.
But here\’s a fact I wasn\’t aware of: George Lucas didn\’t write the screenplay. He wrote the story, but two other writers did the screenplay.
Naturally, I will be using this fact to support my preference that Empire is the best movie of the six. I couldn\’t put my finger totally on it before now, but could it be because the dialog is just a little bit better in Empire?
In any case. Happy Anniversary, Empire. You\’re lookin\’ pretty good for 30.
