RhoDeo 1517 Empire Strikes 07

Hello, missed most of the sports action today, watched some snooker but have to say matches that could take 25 frames aren't very interesting mainly because once the score reaches 9-4 these pro's will win the match even if it takes 2 more hours. Anyway most top acts are through to the quarter finals apart from last years winner..Anyway i predict a Robertson-O'Sullivan final. Meanwhile black men from west Africa keep on coming this way lured by the many dumb blondes in Europe, the social security (free money /housing) you really can't blame them, and after all back home momma has enough sons left.. Another case are the war refugees or Islam breeders as all they seem to do is breed more kids they can't feed or school and meanwhile Allah this and that, yeah right but your socalled muslim brothers don't care if you live or die. No those leftwing bleeding hearts are trying to tell is we must help, yeah right raise more snakes. but hey we've seen the EU in action sevral times now in this past decade and eveytime those amateurs managed to make a bigger mess i'd say away with Brussels !


This week the Empire will Strike Back !

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...................

At first, the idea seems bizarre, even ridiculous. Star Wars, a movie best known for its vistas of alien worlds and epic battles, as a 13 part radio drama? Well, unless you have the cold heart of a Sith, Star Wars did indeed translate well from the silver screen to radio, thank you very much. Yes, Star Wars' visual effects are a big part of the magic of the saga, but the heart and soul of George Lucas' galaxy far, far away are the characters and the storyline. And while the movie is satisfying on its own, the radio dramatization written by the late Brian Daley takes us beyond the movie....beyond the screenplay...and even beyond the novelization.

This landmark production, perhaps the most ambitious radio project ever attempted, began when Star Wars creator George Lucas donated the story rights to an NPR affiliate. Writer Brian Daley adapted the film's highly visual script to the special demands and unique possibilities of radio, creating a more richly textured tale with greater emphasis on character development. The success of the first series led to a 10-part, four hour 15 minute series based on the 1980 film The Empire Strikes Back, again written by Daley and directed by Madden. The series debuted on NPR on February 14, 1983.

Like the preceding series, The Empire Strikes Back expands on the movie's story by incorporating new scenes. Examples include an Imperial attack on a Rebel convoy set before the film's opening scene and a tense conversation between Solo and Skywalker while the two are stranded in the Hoth wastelands.

National Public Radio's promoted the series in part by getting Craig Claiborne to create his version of Yoda's rootleaf recipe, which the Jedi Master serves Luke in the hut on Dagobah. The recipe ran in magazines and newspapers across the country.
Billy Dee Williams reprised Lando Calrissian, and John Lithgow played Yoda at the same time Madden was directing Lithgow in the play Beyond Therapy. Hamill and Daniels returned to voice Skywalker and C-3PO.
