Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Gets a Modern Trailer Makeover
1980’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes back gets a brand new, modern trailer that doesn’t give away any of the film’s surprises. As one of the true blockbusters, the release of 1977's original Star Wars movie marked the beginning of one of the most influential franchises of all time. For its first sequel, creator George Lucas stepped back from directorial duties, handing off the role to his former film school professor Irvin Kirshner. With a story by Lucas and a script by Lawrence Kasdan, The Empire Strikes Back took a much darker tone than its predecessor and was all the better for it.
The film is set three years after the destruction of the first Death Star and opens with the Rebel Alliance on the ice planet of Hoth. Following their defeat, Han, Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO take off in the Millennium Falcon while R2-D2 and Luke seek out a Jedi Master on Dagobah to truly begin his training. The Empire Strikes Back is considered by many to be the best movie in the entire Skywalker saga, bringing in iconic characters like Lando Calrissian, Boba Fett, Yoda, and the Emperor. Furthermore, it features Harrison Ford’s improvised “I know” line, an iconic lightsaber duel, and, of course, the reveal of Darth Vader as Luke’s father. Now, intrepid fans have taken some of that and presented it to audiences as if for the first time.
