So where do you go after making the most successful movie of all time? Why make another of course. After Star Wars proved all naysayers wrong and was a massive success, George Lucas knew he had free reign to continue the story he had written a few years before. But if you thought the first movie had problems, wait until you hear what happened on the second.

But with a highly competent director -and Lucas’s former USC professor- at the helm in Irvin Kershner, The Empire Strikes Back, once again defied odds and in many ways, proved to be an even bigger success than its predecessor. So much so that it is called by many The Godfather II of science fiction movies. But do the Three Men And A Retrospective Podcast agree?

Matt gave a little bit of a preview of his thoughts on this blockbuster at the end of last week’s show, and there are debates to be had in this two hour plus review of one of the most successful sequels of all time.
