The Empire Strikes Back (Final Edit)

The joke here is about how, in the prequels, Star Wars seemed to be about watching legislators in session, complicated legal stuff about the Republic, and George Lucas going back and editing stuff. I imagined that he might edit The Empire Strikes Back to be like this. Funny to me, but I don’t think anyone else liked it much.

The Feud Between the Davenports and the Chesterfields
