What is it about the Dark Side ? In many ways, the "bad boys" were the ones who got the girls...they always seem to be the ones who have the cool cars...being bad has a certain allure.
In the world of Star Wars, we all struggle with our inner demons as we see the Dark Side as having a strange attraction even as we cheer on the Rebellion.....
In the Star Wars saga, there are many who saw " The Empire Strikes Back " as the one Star Wars movie that was edgy... There is a pile of uncertainty in this middle movie of the original trilogy...Luke is on Degobah finding if he can be a Jedi...Han Solo is encased in Carbonite after being betrayed by Lando Carlissian....Lando is not sympathetic to the Empire, he is a victim of circumstance....Leia and Han realize that they do love each other....It is a time of deep uncertainty....
Although it lacks the pioneering "newness" of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back is in many ways a superior motion picture. The storyline is more interesting and ambitious, the characters -- little more than appealing types in the original -- are allowed to grow and develop, the special effects are more mature, and the tone is deliciously dark and downbeat..... In the first film, good triumphed decisively over evil; here, it's almost the other way around.
Thanks to Vanity Fair for sharing these great "behind-the-scenes" pictures....a peek into the Movie Magic from when I was enthralled to rush to the theater to see the newest "Classic" in cinema history...
