George Lucas placed the cave scene in Empire Strikes Back directly at the center mark of the center film of the Original Trilogy for a reason. This week, we discuss all the reasons why the cave scene is so pivotal: the lore, the theories surrounding its meaning, the importance of Luke’s decisions and the vision he has within the cave. Lucas didn’t just throw this scene into Empire Strikes Back; he created it with purpose and symbolism that helped drive Luke’s journey from that point forward. What else will you find in this episode? “Only what you bring with you.” Come join us as we go deep into the cave!
