- Douglas County is a predominantly rural county located in north central Washington. Waterville is the county seat. The county’s proximity to Grand Coulee Dam just over the county line (spanning the Columbia River between Okanogan and Grant counties), as well as the four Columbia River dams within the county have over time provided work for thousands of Douglas County residents.

After the surprise success of A New Hope, a sequel was inevitable. Lucas’s new story turned the series into a dramatic saga with the revelation that Darth Vader was Luke’s father. Since making the last film had been so stressful, he had Lawrence Kasdan and Leigh Brackett write the script for The Empire Strikes Back and had Irvin Kershner direct it.
