Episode The Empire Strikes Back (1980) | Ep. 16 - Part 1

0:00 1:15:10

The sequel nobody knew how to make better turned out to be the best of them all. John, Westy, and Matt begin the story of the darker, stranger second chapter.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Irvin Kershner, the cast, and the second act — including the battle on Hoth, Luke's training with Yoda on Dagobah, and the famously troubled, over-budget production.

There's a revelation coming that you already know, and it still lands. Part 2 delivers it: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.
