What If “Empire Strikes Back” Was Silent?

August 25, 2010 By Mike Hickerson 4 Comments

This summer, we’ve been celebrating 30 years of “The Empire Strikes Back.”

But what if the film were older? A lot older? As in made during the silent movie days?

One fan has created a video that answers that question. It shows the final battle between Luke and Darth Vader in silent movie fashion.

Beautiful. If they had used the empire logo at the bottom of the talk boxes for DV and the rebellion logo for Luke, that would have made it perfect. But it is a nitpick.
