Today marks the 30th anniversary of the release of “The Empire Strikes Back,” the interesting part of the original “Star Wars” trilogy, before those annoying Ewoks showed up. Billy Dee Williams still looks like he ought to be carrying around a can of malt liquor, but he does bring the pretty better than C3PO.
If you’re planning a viewing party, see a Death Star carved from a watermelon and a Storm Trooper made from Monterey Jack cheese, plus other fan tributes, here.
