Based on a true story, The Empire Strikes Bank captures a day in the life of one desperate Star Wars fan, George Yavin (J.R. Finan). His basement collection of near priceless memorabilia is complete but for one long sought after almost legendary prize: a singular aberration, an enigma, a myth, his grail. His years of research and searching in vain have made him bitter and reclusive. His only friend, the young spaz Luca (Colin Eagen), finally finds a piece of the puzzle that causes this traditional grail quest narrative to shift gears into an action packed comedy crime caper thriller.
