George Lucas and producer Gary Kurtz had a blunt, but understandable reason for calling the second Star Wars movie The Empire Strikes Back.
The Empire Strikes Back wasn’t called Star Wars 2 for a blunt, but effective reason. The Empire Strikes Back was the long-awaited follow-up to Star Wars, the 1977 film that launched the entire franchise. When Star Wars, later retitled A New Hope, was released, the producers at 20th Century Fox weren’t sure what to make of it, but quickly changed their tune when the movie made over $420 million at the box office by the time The Empire Strikes Back was set to debut.
“We didn't call it “Star Wars II," because films with “II” in the title usually aren't as good as the first. This is better.” The Empire Strikes Back, however, could build on the foundation laid by Star Wars, continuing to push the boundaries of cinema while also getting right to the heart of the story and the underlying emotion and darkness of Luke Skywalker’s journey. Its twists and turns were undeniably effective, especially the revelation that Darth Vader was Luke’s father, which remains one of the most compelling and iconic storytelling beats in the history of cinema.
