That's my biggest reason for not getting it, too, I think. I could read more about the whole story until I'm blue in the eyes, but I just don't care. I will say that MagnoliaFan's edit is quite good, though. I'm enjoying it much more than I did seeing it in the theater. That's kinda sad, in a way.
Aaaaanyway, um, yes, The Empire Strikes Back. Great film.
