Just want to say Empire is highly regarded as the best Star Wars movie. I agree.

2026-02-13 19:16:33 +0000 UTCYeah "size matters not." But stopping a full-size spaceship traveling at speed would have to take immense focus. No matter which side of the Force. Not saying it's impossible though.

2026-02-12 05:23:07 +0000 UTCTeegan, regarding your question about Vader holding the Falcon in place, remember what Yoda said: Size Matters Not (which also happens to be the name of the autobiography of Warwick Davis (who plays Wicket the Ewok in the next film, Prof. Flitwick in Harry Potter, the Leprechaun, and many more iconic roles. It’s a beautiful read about his life in and out of Hollywood). And of course, the real reason is: because it’s a movie and they needed it to happen this way. 😆

2026-02-07 16:26:40 +0000 UTCThose small droids you saw on the Stardestroyers are the MSE-6 series repair droid. Nicknamed the mouse droid, the MSE is a nimble courier that delivers secure point-to-point communiqués. MSEs are also used for simple maintenance tasks including floor polishing and spot welding. On another note, been following your page for awhile now, both YT and here, and it makes me so happy that you are diving into this franchise. One of my favorites!

2026-02-07 14:45:59 +0000 UTCYes, Julian Glover played Donovan. He is also in a cool 1979 Doctor Who story, 'City of Death' playing an alien displaced across time who can appear human, with Tom Baker as the 4th Doctor, and a cameo by John Cleese (Monty Python franchise and Nearly Headless Nick in Harry Potter movies). And of course Julian Glover is also the infamous Grand Maester Pycelle in Game of Thrones!

2026-02-07 07:46:06 +0000 UTCNot sure if you ever watched the show "Cheers", but the rebel officer on Hoth who tells Leia they need to close the doors for the night played Cliff on that show, as well as a dizzying array of side characters in Pixar movies. Side note: Even in a career filled with amazing music, nothing John Williams wrote instantly gets my blood pumping every time like the asteroid chase theme. Side side note: I've heard many descriptions of Darth Vader in my life but "He's such an ass!" is a new favorite.

2026-02-06 18:19:48 +0000 UTCEvery time Luke calls to Leia, I get teary too. And no, I have no idea why. Liking Empire over A New Hope isn’t controversial at all. This is my favorite film in the entire franchise Wonderful reaction, as always

2026-02-06 09:24:15 +0000 UTCI saw this movie when it first came out and we all talked about it. When Yoda said, 'there is another" we were all trying to guess who is he talking about. hahaha. Also did that mean Luke was going to the dark side. When Vader said 'No, I am Your Father" we all went crazy, Now first time watchers, do not understand how big a moment that was. Yes people misquote that line time and time again, one example of the mandela effect.

2026-02-06 07:00:48 +0000 UTCThe actor who played the General who blew up the power generator on Hoth during the ground assault. Is the only actor to be in two George Lucas, Harrison Ford written movies. The Empire and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. He was the Villain who was looking for the Holy Grail.

2026-02-06 06:43:33 +0000 UTCYou are spot on about why Han was tortured, so Luke could see it. Thank you for understand Han, when He said "I know" so much woman reactors get mad and say, he should have said "I Love you too" but that is not Han. Once again you are dead on it. Now you are not alone, in fact most will agree and so do I. that this one is even better then the first one. It is most people favorite. Now your comment at the end, which I love always, was this world is there to build upon, This is way, we fans get upset when it is done wrong. We feel they do not understand this universe.
