Joss Whedon has a braggy problem with The Empire Strikes Back . It ’s a problem he ’s had since he first saw it back in 1980 . Honestly , once I discover it , I was n’t trusted whether I should laugh or cry .
AsEW.comreported in the article about the interview Whedon gave to Entertainment Weekly :
“ Empire charge the central sin of not actually finish , ” Whedon noted during his 10 - Sir Frederick Handley Page deep - diving interview with Entertainment Weekly inthis week ’s issue . “ Which at the time I was appalled by and I still recall it was a atrocious mind . ”
To which your EW interviewer blunder out : “ You call up Empire had a forged termination ? ”
“ Well , it ’s not an ending , ” Whedon explained about the 1980 film , which had a cliffhanger leading into the next unveiling of the series , Return of the Jedi . “ It ’s a arrive Back Next Week , or in three class . And that upsets me . I go to movies expecting to have a whole experience . If I want a moving-picture show that does n’t cease I ’ll go to a Gallic motion-picture show . That ’s a betrayal of trust to me . A movie has to be complete within itself , it ca n’t just work up off the first one or run variations . ”
I opine it ’s obvious how Joss Whedon would have prefer to end Empire ; by fan - favourite Han Solo snuff it in the last four transactions for no other narrative determination other than to make looker completely overwrought ( believably from a stray laser blast ) and with Luke , Leia , Lando and the Droids running down a Cloud City hallway with chargeman and lightsabers raised to fight Darth Vader , 1250 Stormtroopers , three Rancors bred specifically to pop , and then Ponda Baba with a cybernetic arm , looking for revenge on Luke . abridge to black . Roll credit . Now that ’s an ending Joss Whedon approve of .
