The Empire Strikes Back, the second release in the Star Wars franchise, received
mixed reviews from critics initially but has since grown in esteem, becoming the
most critically acclaimed chapter in the Star Wars saga; it is now considered one
of the greatest films ever made. It became the highest-grossing film of 1980 and,
to date, has earned more than $538 million worldwide from its original run and
several re-releases. When adjusted for inflation, it is the 12th-highest-grossing
film in North America.

(AP) – KFC is bringing back Colonel Sanders as the fried chicken chain seeks
to refresh its image by harkening back to its past.

Sanders, who founded KFC, will be played by "Saturday Night Live" alumnus
Darrell Hammond (above) in TV commercials. The real Colonel Harland Sanders
(below) died nearly 35 years ago, and KFC hasn’t featured him in TV ads for
about 20 years.

KFC also plans to redesign its restaurants with light fixtures shaped like chicken
buckets and quotes from Colonel Sanders hanging on the wall.
