Film Information
At a time when sequels rarely lived up to expectations, The Empire Strikes Back set a new standard, bringing depth and emotion to the galaxy far, far away as a tragic second act to the classic trilogy. A darker story, the film introduced new characters, like Master Yoda, who would become legendary, and left the world stunned with one of cinema’s biggest cliffhangers.
The Rebels are on the run as Darth Vader pursues them in search of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). As Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) flee from the Empire, Luke trains as a Jedi with the ancient Master Yoda.
Dundee Theater History
This film played at the Dundee from Jul 31 to Sep 3, 1981 as an anniversary engagement. In 1980, the Dundee was sold and restored to look as it did when it opened in 1925. The films shown were a mix of Hollywood and independent films.
