On this day in 1980, the Star Wars franchise released 'The Empire Strikes Back'.
Following a difficult production, it received mixed reviews from critics initially but has since grown in esteem, becoming the most critically acclaimed chapter in the Star Wars saga; it is now widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time.
It became the highest-grossing film of 1980 and, to date, has earned more than $538 million worldwide from its original run and several re-releases. When adjusted for inflation, it is the second highest grossing sequel of all time.
If you're not a star wars fan by now; you should definitely take the opportunity to watch the entire original series on this glorious Saturday. You have plenty of time!!!
