To mark the releasing of Star Wars : The Entire Fable on Blu-ray, Digital Spy will be bringing you video and footage from George Lucas’s fantasy classic each day up till release on Sep twelve. The Empire Strikes Back saw George Lucas give the directorial reins to picture vet Irvin Kershner. Luke’s Jedi coaching continued with Yoda in the Dagobah system, Han Solo is torn away from Princess Leia when he is frozen in carbonite and an enormous revelation is held in reserve for the curtain call during Luke’s showdown with Darth Vader.
The darkest ( and potentially best ) of the whole Star Wars fable, Empire Strikes Back took the series to new dramatic heights.
From starting point to end point it’s still as engrossing as ever, packing in a dazzling opening set piece on the ice planet Hoth and one of the most unusual lines in smash hit film history. All together now : “I am your father!” Star Wars : The Entire Tale is released on Blu-ray on Sep twelve.
