00:02:06 ◼   ► who knew whether it was going to be a [TS]

00:02:07 ◼   ► success or a flop obviously was a wild [TS]

00:02:10 ◼   ► success and so we've got an upgraded [TS]

00:02:12 ◼   ► budget and the knowledge that this is a [TS]

00:02:14 ◼   ► cultural phenomenon now that goes into [TS]

00:02:16 ◼   ► the making of this and another [TS]

00:02:18 ◼   ► fascinating thing about this movie is [TS]

00:02:20 ◼   ► that George Lucas the writer and [TS]

00:02:21 ◼   ► director of the first movie is not [TS]

00:02:23 ◼   ► credited with either of those tasks here [TS]

00:02:25 ◼   ► that there is urban Kirchner's the [TS]

00:02:28 ◼   ► director and although George Lucas Lucas [TS]

00:02:30 ◼   ► has a story credit because he did [TS]

00:02:31 ◼   ► fashion the story of Star [TS]

00:02:33 ◼   ► Morris Leigh Brackett and lawrence [TS]

00:02:35 ◼   ► kasdan are credited as the screenwriters [TS]

00:02:37 ◼   ► so step back from George Lucas which i [TS]

00:02:41 ◼   ► think is probably a a good thing so [TS]

00:02:44 ◼   ► before that may be why it's the best [TS]

00:02:46 ◼   ► stock course movies could be could be in [TS]

00:02:49 ◼   ► hindsight could very well be so my goal [TS]

00:02:54 ◼   ► i think is too i think i think we'll [TS]

00:02:58 ◼   ► just walk through the movie [TS]

00:02:59 ◼   ► chronologically at first because that [TS]

00:03:02 ◼   ► worked pretty well with Star Wars and [TS]

00:03:04 ◼   ► some of the other movies that we've done [TS]

00:03:05 ◼   ► but before I start it is there anything [TS]

00:03:09 ◼   ► in particular [TS]

00:03:10 ◼   ► do you have any access to grind anything [TS]

00:03:12 ◼   ► you'd like to bring up now before we [TS]

00:03:14 ◼   ► dive in to the beginning of the empire [TS]

00:03:16 ◼   ► strikes back [TS]

00:03:17 ◼   ► anyone have some have some opening [TS]

00:03:18 ◼   ► opening remarks yes over the chair [TS]

00:03:21 ◼   ► recognizes the senator fight altar I i [TS]

00:03:23 ◼   ► have a row I've rebuttal iio I did [TS]

00:03:28 ◼   ► organize my notes according to like I [TS]

00:03:29 ◼   ► could walk to the movie chronologically [TS]

00:03:31 ◼   ► but I have some stuff that's at the [TS]

00:03:32 ◼   ► beginning it's not about a specific part [TS]

00:03:34 ◼   ► of the movie just kind of like setting [TS]

00:03:35 ◼   ► the stage chair [TS]

00:03:36 ◼   ► yeah so the first thing is a quote from [TS]

00:03:39 ◼   ► that Empire Strikes Back the making of [TS]

00:03:41 ◼   ► empire strikes back book that will [TS]

00:03:42 ◼   ► mention that we had and we're in various [TS]

00:03:44 ◼   ► states of flipping to and reading and it [TS]

00:03:47 ◼   ► was a quote from i think was an [TS]

00:03:49 ◼   ► applicable i also have the new hope one [TS]

00:03:51 ◼   ► I remember was from but it was a second [TS]

00:03:53 ◼   ► hand corner which was firsthand because [TS]

00:03:54 ◼   ► will be deliciously ironic just like [TS]

00:03:56 ◼   ► that lucrative where he talks about the [TS]

00:03:57 ◼   ► sins of changing past works you see that [TS]

00:04:00 ◼   ► one being the best around the internet [TS]

00:04:01 ◼   ► so this is a slightly different one is [TS]

00:04:02 ◼   ► second-hand books it's somebody I forget [TS]

00:04:04 ◼   ► who it was who worked for Lucas and who [TS]

00:04:07 ◼   ► is relaying to someone interviewing him [TS]

00:04:10 ◼   ► i guess in the in the early eighties [TS]

00:04:11 ◼   ► maybe right after New Hope saying what [TS]

00:04:13 ◼   ► George always says about movies as well [TS]

00:04:15 ◼   ► George I talked to the movies George [TS]

00:04:17 ◼   ► always says well you know how I'm real [TS]

00:04:18 ◼   ► estate is location location location [TS]

00:04:20 ◼   ► where George always tells me and movies [TS]

00:04:22 ◼   ► that script script script which is a [TS]

00:04:26 ◼   ► hilarious court coming from the person [TS]

00:04:28 ◼   ► responsible for some of the worst [TS]

00:04:29 ◼   ► scripts ever created by man but my [TS]

00:04:32 ◼   ► opening statement Empire is going to be [TS]

00:04:34 ◼   ► that if I had to pick the number one [TS]

00:04:36 ◼   ► reason that this movie is better than [TS]

00:04:38 ◼   ► all the other Star Wars movies and there [TS]

00:04:40 ◼   ► are many reasons many very important [TS]

00:04:42 ◼   ► reasons but i'm going to have to pick [TS]

00:04:43 ◼   ► one it would be the script and I think [TS]

00:04:46 ◼   ► that [TS]

00:04:46 ◼   ► we will see as we talked about this [TS]

00:04:48 ◼   ► movie that is one thread that runs [TS]

00:04:50 ◼   ► through the entire thing and the other [TS]

00:04:51 ◼   ► opening comment that i have is the fact [TS]

00:04:53 ◼   ► that this is a middle chapter movie [TS]

00:04:56 ◼   ► winning in the trilogy of star wars were [TS]

00:04:58 ◼   ► forgetting about those movies that the [TS]

00:05:01 ◼   ► first movie you know sets the stage in [TS]

00:05:04 ◼   ► the second movie ends in the middle [TS]

00:05:05 ◼   ► chapter has advantages and disadvantages [TS]

00:05:07 ◼   ► now the disadvantages are obvious that [TS]

00:05:10 ◼   ► it doesn't get to show us like a new [TS]

00:05:13 ◼   ► stuff like hey there's such a thing as [TS]

00:05:14 ◼   ► lightsabers in the force and x-wings [TS]

00:05:16 ◼   ► because the first we got to do that [TS]

00:05:17 ◼   ► right and it also doesn't get to resolve [TS]

00:05:20 ◼   ► the conflict as well see if we go to the [TS]

00:05:21 ◼   ► movie because then why would there ever [TS]

00:05:23 ◼   ► be another movie so that kind of hurts [TS]

00:05:25 ◼   ► you as the movie but the advantages are [TS]

00:05:27 ◼   ► that we already know the characters they [TS]

00:05:29 ◼   ► already understand the universe and I [TS]

00:05:30 ◼   ► bet greg was here he would be having a [TS]

00:05:32 ◼   ► whole debate about why this makes this [TS]

00:05:33 ◼   ► really works and so on and so forth but [TS]

00:05:35 ◼   ► i think this sets the stage for what [TS]

00:05:37 ◼   ► we're about to go into and everything [TS]

00:05:39 ◼   ► else in this movie that we will talk [TS]

00:05:41 ◼   ► about kind of hinges on those things [TS]

00:05:45 ◼   ► that this is a middle chapter movie and [TS]

00:05:47 ◼   ► the scripture so much better than the [TS]

00:05:48 ◼   ► other movies and yeah maybe it's because [TS]

00:05:49 ◼   ► Lucas didn't write it and so on and so [TS]

00:05:51 ◼   ► forth but those are my opening comments [TS]

00:05:53 ◼   ► on Empire to add two things one thing [TS]

00:05:55 ◼   ► that I found fascinating is it maybe I [TS]

00:05:58 ◼   ► lewd to this on the first Star Wars [TS]

00:06:00 ◼   ► podcast that i'm a big fan of the the [TS]

00:06:03 ◼   ► radio drama versions of the at least the [TS]

00:06:05 ◼   ► star wars empire which both came out [TS]

00:06:07 ◼   ► fairly close to i think the star wars [TS]

00:06:09 ◼   ► radio drama came out in 1980 and the [TS]

00:06:11 ◼   ► Empire one came out like 81 or something [TS]

00:06:14 ◼   ► and I think what was interesting was i [TS]

00:06:17 ◼   ► remember reading a little bit of when i [TS]

00:06:18 ◼   ► first got like the tapes that mantle [TS]

00:06:20 ◼   ► intro and talked about the fact that [TS]

00:06:22 ◼   ► despite empires were two in two and a [TS]

00:06:24 ◼   ► quarter hour movie roughly there's about [TS]

00:06:27 ◼   ► 40 minutes of dialogue in that which [TS]

00:06:30 ◼   ► always struck me you know as of such a [TS]

00:06:33 ◼   ► fascinating fact like this is this is a [TS]

00:06:36 ◼   ► movie that as Jon says you know the [TS]

00:06:38 ◼   ► script is really important and does a [TS]

00:06:39 ◼   ► really good job but it's also very [TS]

00:06:41 ◼   ► economical there's not in that in that [TS]

00:06:44 ◼   ► struck me watching it again is just how [TS]

00:06:46 ◼   ► pared down and to the point a lot of it [TS]

00:06:50 ◼   ► is and when I was sort of joking before [TS]

00:06:51 ◼   ► we started out here about how i was [TS]

00:06:53 ◼   ► reading the the earlier drafts that they [TS]

00:06:55 ◼   ► quote in the making a star wars book and [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► saying there were bad i think a lot of [TS]

00:06:58 ◼   ► it is because [TS]

00:07:00 ◼   ► they're they're really heavy and and [TS]

00:07:02 ◼   ► like you know there's a lot of [TS]

00:07:04 ◼   ► explication there's a lot of almost [TS]

00:07:06 ◼   ► everything you know was trimmed down you [TS]

00:07:08 ◼   ► can see the basic skeleton of it but [TS]

00:07:10 ◼   ► there's all the superfluous stuff and [TS]

00:07:11 ◼   ► you realize well that's turns out that's [TS]

00:07:13 ◼   ► not actually necessary it and in many [TS]

00:07:16 ◼   ► ways it's a movie that does a whole lot [TS]

00:07:19 ◼   ► more with a whole lot less have you been [TS]

00:07:21 ◼   ► reading my notes [TS]

00:07:22 ◼   ► yes scarily scarily second ya well I [TS]

00:07:28 ◼   ► tell you I don't tell you and I don't [TS]

00:07:29 ◼   ► know it's alright i'm just talking off [TS]

00:07:32 ◼   ► the top of my head [TS]

00:07:33 ◼   ► alright do so well at that point we'll [TS]

00:07:35 ◼   ► come back as we get to individual scenes [TS]

00:07:37 ◼   ► I definitely I think it's interesting [TS]

00:07:39 ◼   ► that you bring up the radio dramas to [TS]

00:07:41 ◼   ► because i hadn't listened to them until [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► last year and the star wars radio drama [TS]

00:07:45 ◼   ► the New Hope radio drama has quite a few [TS]

00:07:47 ◼   ► added scenes but the Empire drama really [TS]

00:07:52 ◼   ► doesn't have all that much you know [TS]

00:07:53 ◼   ► it'sit's longer certainly then the film [TS]

00:07:56 ◼   ► but in terms of extra extra scenes and [TS]

00:07:59 ◼   ► extra dialogue there really isn't that [TS]

00:08:01 ◼   ► much it was like I use pretty closely [TS]

00:08:03 ◼   ► yeah a couple really nice scenes they do [TS]

00:08:05 ◼   ► a scene where at where yah where han and [TS]

00:08:08 ◼   ► luke are in the tent after he's found [TS]

00:08:10 ◼   ► him on Hoth which is kind of a great [TS]

00:08:11 ◼   ► scene because it's that it's hot in Luke [TS]

00:08:13 ◼   ► bickering back and they sort of started [TS]

00:08:14 ◼   ► out being oh thanks for coming out get [TS]

00:08:16 ◼   ► me but as the you know the night goes on [TS]

00:08:18 ◼   ► and where's in today and they're not [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► sure if they're gonna make it they start [TS]

00:08:20 ◼   ► bickering and its really great banter [TS]

00:08:23 ◼   ► they do the brian daly who wrote the [TS]

00:08:24 ◼   ► scripts for all three of those and as [TS]

00:08:27 ◼   ► well as the sum of the Han Solo novels [TS]

00:08:29 ◼   ► did a really fantastic job of capturing [TS]

00:08:32 ◼   ► the tone perfectly it shows their [TS]

00:08:34 ◼   ► friendship very well the thing about [TS]

00:08:36 ◼   ► empire that I think makes it for me and [TS]

00:08:39 ◼   ► especially because it's a middle chapter [TS]

00:08:40 ◼   ► and you think about middle chapter [TS]

00:08:41 ◼   ► movies or just mill chapters in general [TS]

00:08:43 ◼   ► I mean there's a lot of expectation [TS]

00:08:45 ◼   ► there it's really hard to tell that kind [TS]

00:08:47 ◼   ► of a story [TS]

00:08:48 ◼   ► the thing that makes empire so great at [TS]

00:08:50 ◼   ► least in my book is that it's very [TS]

00:08:51 ◼   ► cleanly in a certain way setup as three [TS]

00:08:55 ◼   ► distinct stories throughout the course [TS]

00:08:57 ◼   ► of the film and they're almost like [TS]

00:08:58 ◼   ► their little individual short stories [TS]

00:09:01 ◼   ► built within this greater universe that [TS]

00:09:03 ◼   ► happened to tie together so it's almost [TS]

00:09:05 ◼   ► like for a certain extent you could [TS]

00:09:07 ◼   ► watch just the database section you can [TS]

00:09:08 ◼   ► watch just the cloud City section it [TS]

00:09:10 ◼   ► almost feels very closely to the Flash [TS]

00:09:12 ◼   ► Gordon [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► cereals that you know start horses he's [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► back together being yeah they're [TS]

00:09:17 ◼   ► vignettes and I but there they are done [TS]

00:09:20 ◼   ► so nicely whereas New Hope is very much [TS]

00:09:22 ◼   ► an overarching story and they don't have [TS]

00:09:23 ◼   ► quite those segments quite as well built [TS]

00:09:26 ◼   ► i think the way Empire builds those in [TS]

00:09:28 ◼   ► addition to the dialogue which I agree [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► with both John and Dan and also the the [TS]

00:09:32 ◼   ► fact with the script is it's not even so [TS]

00:09:34 ◼   ► much the dialogue it's what's not said [TS]

00:09:36 ◼   ► and the way the story is built without [TS]

00:09:38 ◼   ► over explicate is just less is more [TS]

00:09:41 ◼   ► let's see how we can communicate this [TS]

00:09:43 ◼   ► without speaking for two pages about how [TS]

00:09:47 ◼   ► you know how we must find the rebels or [TS]

00:09:50 ◼   ► anything [TS]

00:09:51 ◼   ► no it just happens I've seen this movie [TS]

00:09:53 ◼   ► countless times and in watching begin in [TS]

00:09:57 ◼   ► preparation for this podcast and taking [TS]

00:09:59 ◼   ► notes so i actually watched it with my [TS]

00:10:00 ◼   ► kids know every time you watch movie you [TS]

00:10:04 ◼   ► notice I ideally you notice something [TS]

00:10:05 ◼   ► new and maybe it was just the act of [TS]

00:10:08 ◼   ► knowing we were going to talk about it [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► was the act of taking notes but what I [TS]

00:10:13 ◼   ► really noticed this time and again we [TS]

00:10:14 ◼   ► can talk about this as we go through I [TS]

00:10:16 ◼   ► noticed the dialogue and it's not just [TS]

00:10:19 ◼   ► because we've seen some George Lucas [TS]

00:10:21 ◼   ► written movies where the dialogue is [TS]

00:10:22 ◼   ► terrible i just noticed the the velocity [TS]

00:10:26 ◼   ► of the dialogue particularly between han [TS]

00:10:29 ◼   ► and Leia that it's it's kind of [TS]

00:10:33 ◼   ► breathtaking in the speed of some of [TS]

00:10:35 ◼   ► their encounters and I think actually [TS]

00:10:38 ◼   ► kind of bold that they they talk so fast [TS]

00:10:40 ◼   ► that it's kind of hard to understand [TS]

00:10:42 ◼   ► everything but they're saying because it [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► happens its parts so mad and it is [TS]

00:10:46 ◼   ► almost walking in space yeah it's almost [TS]

00:10:48 ◼   ► like screwball forties kinda well kind [TS]

00:10:51 ◼   ► of your mind your mind at all my bracket [TS]

00:10:54 ◼   ► bracket wrote nor in the 40 I mean she [TS]

00:10:58 ◼   ► on the screenplay for the big sleep so [TS]

00:11:01 ◼   ► you know chichi was a veteran of that I [TS]

00:11:03 ◼   ► don't know how much that carries over [TS]

00:11:04 ◼   ► from the stuff that she does because I'm [TS]

00:11:06 ◼   ► sure jonel will note that she you know a [TS]

00:11:08 ◼   ► lot of her early draft stuff was sort of [TS]

00:11:09 ◼   ► overwritten I i do by the fact that [TS]

00:11:12 ◼   ► despite that she was Mason mostly [TS]

00:11:14 ◼   ► overwritten that her spirit sort of like [TS]

00:11:17 ◼   ► the boot [TS]

00:11:18 ◼   ► I i get the impression i'm not a movie [TS]

00:11:20 ◼   ► script writer but I get the impression [TS]

00:11:20 ◼   ► is if you're called in to basically [TS]

00:11:23 ◼   ► override re write a script by a famous [TS]

00:11:26 ◼   ► screenwriter that you [TS]

00:11:27 ◼   ► Meyer who is known for particular genre [TS]
