'The emphasis on the toys, it's like the cart driving the horse.'
Producer Gary Kurtz, who made some movie called The Empire Strikes Back thirty years ago, talks about his creative differences with George Lucas, how the trilogy could have ended, and more. Great read.
While the teddy bear luau ending was rather wearisome, I'm not sure Han dying in the middle and Luke abandoning Leia struggling to lead a rebellion in tatters would have been all that great, either. Interesting article, though.
