Empire Strikes Back Was Actually an INDIE Movie?! 🤯 #Shorts #StarWars #MovieFacts

IN EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980)
ONE OF GEORGE LUCAS' GOALS IN DOING A STAR WARS SEQUEL WAS TO BECOME FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT FROM HOLLYWOOD, AND HE SUCCEEDED IN THIS GOAL.
BECAUSE HE PERSONALLY FINANCED THE WHOLE MOVIE HIMSELF WITHOUT HELP FROM A STUDIO (WHICH ONLY DID THE DISTRIBUTION) AND THE FILM WENT OVER BUDGET SEVERAL TIMES, THIS MAKES IT ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE INDEPENDENT MOVIES EVER MADE. #StarWars #EmpireStrikesBack #GeorgeLucas #Lucasfilm #DarthVader #LukeSkywalker #StarWarsFacts #Movie #IndieFilm #Short
