Excuse me while I find my pipe and slippers….ok, back in the day there were many, many rumours floating around regarding the fate of our heroes in The Empire Strikes Back. That film and it’s tremendous revelations would cascade into even more in the lead up to Return of the Jedi.

What Culture – best known for their risque but often on-the-nose wrestling videos – take a look at the rumours of the time, many of them seeded to sci-fi magazines of the day by the former Director of Fan Relations Craig Miller.

No kidding! Watch, enjoy and remember – this is done for fun.
