This episode centers on the character of Miles. It was an ok episode. I don't care about Roger Linus and Kate was being stupid talking to him raising suspicion. The best part was the end, but I'll get to that in a second.
One cool thing is that we learn that Pierre Chang is Miles's father and that Chang "left" his mother and son when Miles was just a baby. What leads to him "leaving" will be shown soon enough and was hinted at in this episode...
It appears that someone has died when their filling in their tooth came out and went though their brain due to electromagnetism. This isn't exactly confirmed, but after seeing The Orchid and The Swan being built and knowing the supernatural properties of both of those places, the writers don't say much more it. At The Swan, it was great seeing the numbers being banged into the hatch door.
This title of the episode is a play on words where Hurley is rewriting Empire Strikes Back for George Lucas with some improvements. Hurley relates the story to Pierre/Miles father/son relationship or lack their of, like Vader/Luke in Star Wars. It was a very Hurley thing to do.
It was cool seeing Naomi recruiting Miles and later on, Gram trying to stop him from going to the island. The scene also provided the connection of the specific amount of money that Miles wanted from Ben.
After all was said and done, the best part of the episode was Daniel Faraday finally making an appearance. He was in Ann Arbor with the scientist and he has returned to the island. He's obviously returned for a reason and that reason will drive the rest of Season 5. So I look forward to that and what is happening in 2007 with Locke and Ben.
