Yesterday I tried #CloudCity with a fellow patient who sits at my table at mealtimes. We had lots of fun with this game, I was surprised how enjoyable it was even for someone like me who usually dislikes abstract games. 👍

Today’s #TBT: This behind-the-scenes photo captures a moment from the filming of the iconic torture scene in #StarWars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. Here, Harrison Ford, playing #HanSolo, is prepped on the brutal-looking torture device, while David Prowse, as #DarthVader, stands beside him. This scene is pivotal, showcasing Vader's cruelty as he inflicts pain not to extract information, but as a psychological ploy to lure #LukeSkywalker into a trap. It's a chilling moment that reinforces the Empire's dominance and Han's resilience, as he endures the suffering without giving his captors any satisfaction.

In the final film, the scene is brief yet powerful — Han is strapped to the machine as sparks fly, and his agonized screams echo through #CloudCity. What makes it even more terrifying is the lack of explanation; the audience never learns exactly what the device does, making the torture seem even more sinister. Vader's cold efficiency, walking away as Han writhes in pain, highlights his mastery of fear and manipulation. This moment also strengthens Han's arc-despite his roguish bravado, this is the first time we see him truly helpless, foreshadowing his eventual fate in carbonite.
