Producer's note: At times, there might be discussion and spoilers of other Star Wars movies in this episode.
No, I am your father! It's Star Wars Day and we are joined by Kent Fellure from the Ritual Misery podcast to continue our Star Wars series of episodes. This time, we'll be discussing the 2nd movie released, Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. While this movie appears on the surface to just be a Luke Skywalker training session, could it just be more of a reinforcement to make sure Luke doesn't join the Dark Side? Plus, this Star Wars movie along with the others in the trilogy have edits that were made after the movie's release, a total of 4 to be exact. Some Star Wars purists believe that the movies shouldn't have been tampered with, but we discuss why these changes may actually have been necessary, and the big reveal at the end of this movie is the biggest spoiler of all time, does it ruin the viewing experience for a first time watcher?
