None
Notes
Film
- Starts with 20th Century Fox logo and ends mid-way through the opening crawl.
- The original edition movie is being used for this podcast.
Podcast
- First episode of the new season.
- Future Star Wars movies will not have the 20th Century Fox opening.
- The fan's reaction to the title of this movie.
- The novelization of the movie is discussed.
- Listener project: Research and report back on how Yoda's lines are written in the novelization of ESB. Are they in Yodaese?
- The majority of the opening is very similar to Star Wars - this is comforting for audiences.
- Empire is not titled "Star Wars II" like other movies of that era (and possibly now).
- Referenced: Indiana Jones, Ocean's 11, 22 Jump Street, Harry Potter.
- First time an episode number was used before a Star Wars movie - episode 5. This was confusing at the time.
- The text of the crawl starts with "It's a dark time for the rebellion..." which is in contrast with the way Star Wars finished and also sets the tone for the rest of Empire.
- Support the Show and 8-DAY-GREEDO reminders.
Meta Minute
- 12:12 podcast episode length.
- Alex says that the special edition changes to this movie may actually enhance it rather than detract from it.
- Fox made / paid for Star Wars however Lucas was going to pay for Empire himself. Ultimately he ran out of money and Fox paid for the movie to be finished.
- Alex's story about his parents seeing the movie without him (or his brother). This is also referenced in episode 60 of SWM:WE.
- Correction from SWM: Lucas was fined by the Director's Guild for Empire NOT Star Wars due to no opening credits.
- Listener and future guest of the show Eric Deutsch will later report on how Yoda talks in the ESB novelization.
Quotes
- Alex: What kind of sadistic parents are these?
- Alex: ...whatever episode 2 is called.
- Alex: It's freedom, man!
