  Without Empire, Star Wars would have become a continual remake of A New Hope like The Force Awakens ended up being.  Lucas has balls.  Hollywood doesn't.

  Another flip I just realized: Revenge of the Sith ends with Anakin burning and then Vader being born, Return of the Jedi ends with Vader burning and then Anakin being reborn (as a force spirit)

  The edit at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Btp1BoGbuiM&amp;t=409">6:49</a> of Luke throwing his lightsabre and Anakin catching it was beautiful.<br><br>So was the chain throw.

  Empire defined Star Wars as an expansive universe to be explored indefinitely, whereas A New Hope could be seen as more of an fantasy adventure romp through space that homages the serials of old.

  I like how you have given Lucas more credit for the film, yes while he was the least involved with the visual style and some of the script, he did write the second draft of Empire and then Kershner edited his script. Most of the Fandom seems to think Lucas wasn’t involved much in Empire but that is absolutely not true! Lucas along with his team made Empire a success not just his team.

  What I like about this channel is that it discusses what makes the original trilogy work and doesn&apos;t bash the prequel trilogy, but actually gives the due respect to them as well

  I disagree with the Fandom’s comments on Yoda. While yes Lucas did kind of flip Yoda it was hinted Yoda’s been in Wars before: “Wars do not make oneself great” he’s hinting that he knows from experience! So shocked most people didn’t get that?!
