Having just re-watched Empire last night with my folks, I realized a few things:
1. Lucas neither directed nor wrote the script of Empire Strikes Back, he was executive producer and story creator. (This is in everyone's opinion the best film of the bunch and apparently it was Lucas's film school prof who directed it.) 2. Carrie Fisher who was hosting the version I taped (taped it years ago in KC from Sci-Fi Channel) stated that the director of Empire was interested in making a film that stood on its own and was true to characters.
Lucas isn't a wordsmith or really a filmmaker, so much as a computer geek/techy.
