This conversation with Sam Eldredge was one of the most fun conversations I’ve had at Men at the Movies, so I am pulling The Empire Strikes Back out of the mothballs for this month. With so many options and themes we could’ve gone with, we focused on Luke’s pursuit of identity. He had accomplished everything he had dreamed of on Tattoine, but the more success he had, the more it pulled him from his true calling. It took a supernatural intervention to get him where he needed to go. Never tell me the odds, and lets discover God’s truth in this movie.
