      @@mhoppy6639 I use audio descriptions when they are available. Sometimes I get annoyed a bit when the narration is talking right over the music, describing something I don't care about, but that is entirely subjective. The audio description adds a lot to my movie experience, much more than it detracts. The funny thing is that my wife, who can see perfectly well, also prefers to have audio description on because it points out important bits of the scene that might be lost to subtlety otherwise.
      One thing that does bother me is that some movies, that had audio descriptions at the theater, are released to home video, Disney Plus and Netflix without audio description. What's with that? The work has already been done. Just include it.

      I still have mine too! Listened each week and recorded the episodes - including the different into/outro narration and the missing dialogue that somehow was edited out when officially released in the 90s. Glad to know someone else was as nerdy about this as me! Fans unfamiliar with these radio shows are missing out big time.

    I was introduced to Star Wars properly in 4th grade. My teacher put a novel of The Empire Strikes Back in front of me, as I finished my work earlier than everyone else. I started reading, and was interested. I found this on cassette tape at a local video store, and rented it. This sounds just like I remember.

    This is great ! I did something like this about 15 years ago with the tape cassette version of the radio drama and a vhs camcorder pointed at various comics and artwork . I appreciate the time it takes to make something like this . I got as far as the start of the battle of hoth but never finished my project . Would love to see you do a redux of these . Small bit of constructive criticism ...some of the images on here are on screen for too long , would love to see more cuts inserted for when each character speaks . There is no shortage of artwork available online to do this . I love how you integrated the Topps trading cards into this . Would also love to see all of Ralph McQuarrie's production paintings used in this . A couple of years back , artist Chris Sprouse did a series of covers across the marvel comics line that depicted various scenes from The Empire Strikes Back that would work very well here too .

      @nopcshere6097 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think what started Vader's obsession with Luke began during the Death Star trench run. As Vader was pursuing Luke down the trench in his TIE Advanced x1, he felt the Force coming from Luke's X-Wing and decided he had to determine where it came from. There was also a novel set between SW and ESB called 'Splinter of the Mind's Eye', which further explores the connection between them.
