Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

April 6, 2016 By Brian 1 Comment

E is for the Empire Strikes Back

With all the shelves, doors, and windows, wall space in the cave is at a premium, so it takes a special poster to get framed and hung in this space, but an original Empire Strikes Back movie poster fits the bill nicely.

empirestrikesback-movie-poster Empire is my favorite of the original trilogy, mainly because of the Hoth scenes at the beginning. That frozen planet drove my imagination wild as a kid, and it was always the scenario of choice when my brother and I played with our Star Wars toys. I remember dumping a box of baking soda onto the ground to simulate the frozen tundra, and trying to trip up my dog with the snow speeder’s tow cable. Good times.


This marks the fifth day of the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, and I have to admit that “E” had me stumped the most so far. I almost went with Escape from New York, but settled on Empire. What will the letter “F” bring? Find out tomorrow!

    I love the image of a kid trying to trip up his dog with a snow speeder’s tow cable!

    (Really enjoying this A to Z concept. May have to steal the idea some day…)
