Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary Special Book ...

It was so long ago but I think I saw the first Star Wars movie at the old St. Thomas Drive-In. Amazing!

I can't remember if I saw The Empire Strikes Back at the movie theatre, drive-in, or on video for the first time, but I do remember seeing it many times.

Exciting action, wonderful creative aliens, lots of humour mixed in with the heroics and danger. I don't think you can watch this movie (or the entire series) too many times.

Next rainy day why not enjoy a Star Wars movie binge?
