January 2, 2022

May 10, 2021

Dagobah stew! Breakfast of champions and Jedi Masters. Yoda’s apparently nasty-tasting stew is featured in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. We don’t actually know what Yoda had in his stew, based on the scene where he encourages Jedi apprentice Luke Skywalker to eat. One can guess there were lots of slimy creatures in […]

Classic Movie Review – The Empire Strikes Back

July 15, 2020
