Revisiting The Empire Strikes Back with Lawrence Kasdan

On May 14, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back by revisiting the screenplay with co-writer Lawrence Kasdan. He chatted with fellow screenwriters and Scriptnotes podcast hosts John August and Craig Mazin about the craft and impact of the beloved Star Wars sequel.

Mr. Kasdan needs to be inducted into some kind of hall of fame. He's written some of the biggest blockbusters ever, including Body Heat, the Big Chill, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Bodyguard (such an underrated flick), Continental Divide and the Accidental Tourist. Legendary!
