Summary

Join Children of the Watch for a breakdown of the film that changed it all, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. After concluding our Acolyte coverage and before Skeleton Crew begins, we've decieded to revist the Orginal Trilogy, breaking down the stories, characters, and more. We'll be discussing the second installement with our favorites, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo in depth, touching on themes, behind the scenes production facts, and how newer Star Wars media inform watching of this classic today. Next week, we will be hearing your thoughts on Empire as well as talking about some of our favorite personal memories with the films. After that, we'll be discussing everthing that happens in between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi with our lore episodes. We can't wait!
