The Empire Strikes Back - Due Diligence - a podcast by Thomas Fox

Second in our 5-part series on compliance through the lens of Star Wars is Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, which is my personal favorite of the original three movies. The film begins with a cool battle on the ice planet of Hoth and has some great HR lessons as Darth Vader executes officers for work place failures; demonstrates some dangers involving ineffective training for Luke Skywalker on the tropical plant of Dagobah, where he travels to learn under the Jedi master Yoda who utters the immortal line “Try not! Do, or do not. There is no try”; and ends in Cloud City, a floating gas mining colony in the skies of the planet Bespin run by Han Solo’s old buddy, Lando Calrissian. It also has one of the greatest movie lines of all-time, thundered by Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker, near the end of the film. Today, we consider it for the continued issue of due diligence.
