Carrie Fisher Sleeping On Set

While filming the Hoth scenes in The Empire Strikes Back, Carrie Fisher takes a well-deserved nap on a snowmobile. Filming took place at Norway’s Hardangerjkulen glacier, and it goes without saying that weather circumstances had a considerable impact on the production’s development. Cast and crew members are said to have experienced the worst winter storm the area has seen in half a century. Temperatures were so low on one occasion that the crew couldn’t leave the hotel.

Lightsaber Training

Lightsaber battles are a huge aspect of the Star Wars mythology, and they’ve developed through the years. The first combat was between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and it is undoubtedly the rawest and most fundamental of them all. Sir Alec Guinness and David Prowse spent several weeks training together and mastering the fundamentals of Kendo sword fighting. The sequels attempted to restore to the original trilogy’s Kendo foundations, while the prequels focused on more complicated duels.
