THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK hotline messages

Tuesday, June 29, 2010

This is a page on Starwars.com featuring the in-character messages that the actors from the original Star Wars movies recorded for an Empire Strikes Back promo phone hotline in 1980. It's sweet to hear these characters saying new stuff after so many years of hearing them recite the same lines over and over again... But it's also kind of weird to hear Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader getting meta on us and pimping the upcoming release of their movie.

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
