If THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK came out today, the backlash would've rivaled THE LAST JEDI.

It's a mostly plotless road movie where "nothing happens," every character sucks and fails, and the Vader twist contradicts the last movie.

And worst of all: bombs drop in space. https://twitter.com/jtimsuggs/status/1264224009237008387
The first STAR WARS is about rescuing a princess and saving the galaxy.

The EMPIRE STRIKES BACK is about a car breaking down.
In STAR WARS, Luke effortlessly evade getting shot at by stormtroopers and Tie Fighters. He's basically invincible.

In EMPIRE, Luke almost dies because of the weather ...and a bear.
In case it wasn't obvious, these are not digs at THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.

It is literally my favorite movie of all time.
