The Empire Strikes Back is a generation defining film. We asked Judges for May the 4th for their memories on seeing “Empire” and to discuss one of the many legal issues from the film. As for myself, I saw “Empire” with my mother the opening weekend at the Century 21 Theaters in San Jose, CA. Now closed, the below view is what I saw at age 5 while sitting on a blanket in the parking lot with cars going around the very long line. As my mother used to tell the story, my feet went to the end of the chair and as soon as the opening crawl started, I neither moved or blinked. I know many others have very similar memories from seeing this amazing film.
We hope you enjoy hearing from Judges on their memories of “Empire.”
