What a great twist with Hurley re-writing Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back!Star Wars themes have been woven into Lost from season 1, but it was great to see Star Wars actually mentioned in this episode.
Miles' back-story in this episode continues the theme of characters with "daddy issues." This is not unlike Luke's relationship with his father Anakin (aka Darth Vader). Though Luke has a lot to hold against his father, redemption of this relationship takes place in Anakin's final moments of life.
Though Locke was not able to have this redemption with his father, Hurley is thankful for his second chance with his dad.
In this episode we see Miles constantly trying to fill his fatherless void by earning large amounts of cash. I really liked that moment where Miles is watching himself with his dad through the window. It seems to give hope toward that void finally being filled.
I believe Miles may have the same opportunity to rekindle his relationship with his father before the end of the season and I am going to go out on a limb and say it will cost Miles his life.

Best line of the night... Hurley: "Polar bear poop. Got it." Loved the Hurley/Miles interactions.
And Faraday is back! Can't wait to find out what he's been up to (have to wait two weeks for that).
Chewbaca: "Rurrr!"
