Many say Lawrence Kasdan wrote Empire Strikes back truth is he co-wrote with Leigh Brackett


Leigh Brackett is a far superior writer. Things were simpler and believable. Look what happens when things get really explainy - you have The Imperial March playing on TV's, offcers naming you "Solo" and hyper fuel.

Wow. Thanks Kasden duo for all the cleverness!

people praise kasdan but they must understand raiders and empire's storylines were already outlined for him. he just took the outline and strung it all together.

Yeah are either getting exposed, getting fed what 'they have to write' or REALLY dropped the ball on this one.

I absolutely HATED that they played the Imperial March on the TV, in-universe. Thats NOT how soundtrack works. for fuck sake...

According to George Lucas, Brackett's script was unusable and virtually none of it made it to the screen. But he was such a huge fan of her work that he couldn't bring himself to not giver her credit.

A tune very like the Imperial March (it isn't the Imperial March) being heard in Imperial propaganda had been in Star Wars Rebels four years ago.
