Description

In honor of May the 4th—Star Wars Day—we’re continuing our deep dive into that galaxy far, far away with one of the most iconic sequels of all time...Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back.


This week, the guys revisit the cinematic landmark that redefined what a sequel could be. With its darker tone, emotional depth, and revolutionary special effects, Empire not only built upon the foundation of A New Hope—it elevated the entire Star Wars saga to mythic status.


Join us as we explore the film’s production hurdles, legendary performances, and the creative decisions that gave us unforgettable moments—from “I am your father” to the haunting beauty of John Williams’ score. We’re serving up behind-the-scenes stories, fascinating trivia, character arc breakdowns, and our own passionate takes on why Empire remains a gold standard in sci-fi and cinema history.


If you're a die-hard fan, a casual viewer, or somewhere in between, this is one episode you won't want to miss. May the Force be with you—and press play already.
