496: Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back

Welcome back to Myopia Movies the show where we boldly go—wait, wrong franchise—where we dive headfirst into the galaxy far, far away! And today, we’re talking about Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back, the movie that taught us three very important lessons:

1) Always check if someone’s your dad before you start a fight,

2) Tauntauns may smell bad, but they’re lifesavers, and

3) Never kiss your sibling—even if you don’t know they’re your sibling.

That’s right! We’re breaking down the movie where the good guys lose, the bad guys win, and we’re left screaming, ‘LUKE, DON’T DO IT!’ louder than Darth Vader in a parenting seminar. So grab your lightsabers, bundle up for Hoth, and let’s jump into the movie that made us all question our family trees and our ability to trust small green swamp creatures!”
