It may be hard to believe, but with over 150 episodes and 8+ years behind us, we have never discussed what is arguably the best Star Wars film, The Empire Strikes Back! So sit back and relax as your Planet 8 crew share their thoughts and memories of this classic film.
It's easy now to praise Empire, but at the time, it made a number of bold and risky moves, not the least of which was ending in a cliffhanger, and a bit of a downer. George Lucas didn't make a cookie-cutter repeat of Star Wars, which many studio execs wanted; instead, he made a film which continued the story, taking some chances (a Muppet?) and overall having a much darker tone than the original. But it was the right direction, and the film is now recognized as not only a great Star Wars film, but a great film period.
Of course, we do our Sensor Sweep and talk about the usual nonsense -what new stuff we've bought and what shows we're watching. Hopefully you find that amusing too!
Let us know how you feel about Empire - how do you feel about it now, and what did you think when you first saw it? You can find us at these locations:

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
