For anyone who cares, I have a new post up on my blog now that touches on this subject: http://henrynsilva.blogspot.com/2022/12/revisiting-my-empire-strikes-back-hot.html?m=1
Oh cool, you referenced my Tolkien comparison! I’m glad that was food for thought.
Ah, was that you? I remember reading it but couldn’t remember who said it. If you want me to edit the post to credit you then let me know!
It’s alright, you don’t have to.
Fair enough, then! But yeah, in any case, I thought you made a very good point with that comparison. It certainly helped me to look at ESB from a whole new angle, so thanks.
