[QUOTE="Simply Sci-fi, post: 382454, member: 5480"] In writing my book, I have all of the release dates at my fingertips. The Empire Strikes Back was released in Britain at the Odeon Leicester Square on the 21st May. The film was released nationally on June 15th to large venues including the Glasgow Odeon. There was indeed a second wave of releases on the 3rd August which took in other parts of the country, including my home town of Romford. There was a re-release of ESB in the summer of 1981 but the uptake from cinemas was extremely low. It may have played in Glasgow. The Double Bill does not appear to have hit Glasgow (or Edinburgh) on the 30th May 1982, like the rest of the country as I couldn’t find any listings. It did open in both cities though on 12th December. I’m still interested in what people thought of The Empire Strikes Back. I'm very short of ESB memories for the book. Mature fans (16 plus) on the whole appreciated the more grown-up tone of the film. Younger fans (myself included) were often confused and shocked. I didn’t enjoy the film as a younger fan but I came to love it as an adult. I have created a new thread on the subject: http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=28536 Craig. [/QUOTE]
