[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 483850, member: 7379"] With respect, what I actually said was 'I don't remember any awful bits in Empire'. That's '[u]awful[/u] bits' take note, and I will stand absolutely by that statement. These are not scientifically accurate sci-fi films, and they never were (there should be no sound in space for starters, and how come laser blasts travel so slowly we can actually see them move? etc.). I never claimed Empire was perfect, but I will claim that there are no genuinely awful moments in it either. I also maintain that Empire is quite excellent escapist entertainment for children of all ages (even those of us in our forties ;-)), with a brilliant and compelling story that has excitement, adventure and surprises throughout. It has superbly realised characters that we genuinely care about (what young fan in 1980 didn't spend the next 3 years worrying about the fate of Han Solo?) and was and is also excellent in a myriad other ways that (in my personal opinion), TLJ wasn't. If what you wrote above truly represents your HONEST opinion about The Empire Strikes Back, then fair enough. Each to their own of course, and you're entitled to your opinion about Empire just as you are about TLJ. Just as I'm entitled to my own opinions about these films too. BTW, if you want to know what tauntauns eat, you can find out here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tauntaun/Legends ;-) [/QUOTE]
