[@stephenmartin2737]

The best movie in the entire franchise , khersner was an absolute genius!!!!

[@SydneyPatterson-er3tx]

I love how Carrie was out in the cold during the whole Hoth scene even though she didn’t have to shoot out in the cold. Just being part of the team is smt rly cool to see. You are missed Carrie Fisher

[@SydneyPatterson-er3tx]

They don’t make masterpieces like this anymore

[@ds_the_rn]

I appreciate all of the work they put in during their time in Norway. None of that has to happen today during filming with 21st century technology. Thank you for posting this. I’ve never seen all of this before. I miss Carrie so much. I hope in another 40 years, people still love ESB.

[@MaraJadeSkky]

It's so cute listening to Carrie, Mark, and Harrison talk about the film while trying to avoid spilling the beans about the film.

[@zsoltkiss4515]

Egy élmény lehetett megcsinálni ezt a filmet, még ilyen nehéz körülmények között is. Csodálatos.

42 years ago! Damn, I feel old. I saw this in the theater in 1980.

[@burgerking8475]

Did you eat popcorn when you saw it?

[@DR-mq1vn]

@@burgerking8475 Yes, we had popcorn back then. LOL! And seeing these in the theater when they were released was awesome!

[@KatharineDalton-xv5ud]

I saw it in a movie theater, too. Guess you're not the only "geezer" following this thread😉😆

[@jnnx]

Same here, saw it twice in theatre in 1980 (once with my next door neighbor/best friend at the time, second several months later visiting my grandmother). I was five at the time, I also remember receiving the All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) from Santa that Christmas. . .

[@williamripke982]

So did I.

[@williamdeluca901]

I believe that the characters are so ingrained in our culture these days that you can’t watch any of the films without feeling you know them. back in the day in 77 Star Wars introduced me and I went into Empire knowing their relationships. I’m not sure you can get an unbiased review of Empire these days but it is my favorite of the films

[@jimegan6848]

I think it's most reasonable to crap on Disney's sequels because they failed to show our friends reunite at least once. Seeing them grow old together would have won a lot of us over.

[@seniorslaphead8336]

Harrison is higher than the death star.

[@cooliostarstache5474]

There are people who hate Empire and only like A New Hope, fun fact

[@franciscoantonio5306]

Never thought about that. So true.

[@deleriousdinosaur3205]

I've always found it strange how some people don't say Empire is their favorite Star Wars film

[@EveshkaGhost]

empire and jedi are tied for me :P empire for the darkness and all-round great depth of film, but I like Jedi for the general fun-factor, the jabba's palace scene, and palpatine :)

[@CaptainRockoBD]

Because empire is an unfinished movie that you NEED to watch return of the Jedi for it to feel complete. I love the OT but my favorite movie is hard to choose between AOTC and ROTS

[@CaptainRockoBD]

@@EveshkaGhost yeah ROTJ definitely feels way more fun.

[@iamawin8272]

@@CaptainRockoBD it isn’t an unfinished movie at all. It’s just a part of a trilogy.

[@jasonjansen9831]

It's not just the best Star Wars film it's the best space fantasy film of all time.

[@chrisgreulich]

I love seeing original documentaries of the Star Wars films. I enjoy hearing what people were thinking and doing in that moment.

This is a great day to start the morning with a Cup of Coffee to enjoy watching the behind the scenes for The Empire, Strikes Back ☕

Mark Hamill: "Yeah, if I spent 3 weeks with her in hyperspace I'd have a shot too." Mark Hamill after finding out Leia's his sister: 0_0

[@jackbagley8498]

My favorite movie of all time let’s see this

[@danieldehart3320]

As a 54 year old SW fan, this very first minute of a 'behind the scene' documentary gives me that specific feeling I had in '77 watching 'A New Hope' on big screen. For me, I stick to Rogue One, A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back en Return of the Jedi. CGI, Disney, Remastered versions simply don't work for me. A big bow to all people involved decades ago creating masterpieces. And a bow for this documentary! ❤

[@user-jg5wf3np8i]

I was 8 years old when I first watched TESB This is the beauty of the internet you can find out stuff like this, that at the time had no idea existed. Thanks Star Wars Coffee for sharing. The best Star Wars movie of them all.

[@itsMrNoble]

That’s my godfather Mike at 14:44 and 14:50

[@thebipolarbear1]

8:21 obi wan lightsaber in the empire training pretty cool

[@decker14626]

I love seeing behind the scenes stuff like this. It makes you appreciate the final version with all of the visual and audio special effects added. It looks so boring without them and the music too.

[@TokyoXtreme]

4:08 At last we know how long it took Han and Leia to get from Hoth to Bespin.

[@sonsofliberty75]

By far the best Star Wars movie!

[@michaelkrolewski7406]

Luke is fond of the princess. Little does he know it's his sister.

[@williamsiyanko4631]

Irvin Kershner has that ability to make a great movie as a director.

[@JJSR_99]

The mat painting thing is a new fact to me I found it so interesting

[@jnnx]

Matte painting. (See, you learn something new everyday!)

[@fanssolperez3430]

“May the Force be with you.” It’s not an exaggeration to say that without The Empire Strikes Back the Star Wars saga and its sequels would not be what they are today. It’s a masterful bit of worldbuilding and character development, equal parts mood piece and classic Hollywood adventure. It’s an exciting chase, but also a spiritual journey, and it represents for me everything that makes the Star Wars films more than just another science fiction series and a grand example of the rich and rewarding possibilities of popular filmmaking. 10 out of 10 Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980, USA) Directed by Irvin Kershner; screenplay by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan based on a story by George Lucas; starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, David Prowse, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker, Frank Oz.

The was no digital things back in those days. Because they had more practical effects.

[@theamused8705]

Man, I wish Lucas had made a sequel trilogy before selling to Disney.

[@TheRealCeeJai]

The CorridorDigital guys could easily make 10 or 15 episodes reacting to this video.

All geniuses John Williams amazing music is more important than than what people think

[@mandyfox9376]

Echo Base looks epic Empire Strikes Back is still the best ❤

[@aldunlop4622]

This movie was so great because of love for Star Wars by all involved, care and attention to detail, and above all a sense of responsibility to the audience to deliver a product they would love. These things are what's missing in modern films, they want to make propaganda, not entertainment.

[@GetALifeMiley]

Empire is the best of all the Star Wars movies.

[@tonywilliams6428]

I've never seen this one. Thank you!

[@mddistribution30]

Hamill's face did change between Star Wars and Empire. I saw him in an interview trying to play down I think the significance of the surgery he had after his car accident but u can definitely see a difference in his face

[@JJSR_99]

This documentary is great I am in the middle of watching it now may I ask where did you find it?

I guess for the Hoth scenes they used locals for the Rebel infantry and didn’t transport them from the U.K where the rest was filmed? And where in Norway was it shot??

[@TheBandit7613]

Fince Norway.

[@johnellizz]

3:50 This documentary is distinguished by an interview with Harrison Ford where he's clearly high. He also speaks about the love triangle and has to laugh because it parallels the real situation with Harrison, Carrie and Mark.

[@sandal_thong8631]

He's said he doesn't feel comfortable in interviews, so that could be it too.

[@KatharineDalton-xv5ud]

He's either really shy or really high. Either way, I still love you, HF!

[@alexchan6303]

Mark was married with a child during the shooting of ESB.

[@jnnx]

He laughs because he was already sleeping with Carrie, but was keeping that under wraps.

Unpopular Opinion: The Making of the Star Wars movies are better than the actual star wars movies.

[@KatharineDalton-xv5ud]

I loved the complexity of the character development and storyline. Episodes 4,5, and 6 are still my favorite of the trilogies. I didn't care much for the prequels. Just not the same without Luke, Leia, and Han. I even missed Darth Vadar in his menacingly cool black costume and helmet.

[@sandal_thong8631]

I remember a radio commercial where the guy says to the girl, "I shaved the moustache but kept the beard." "Oh," she says disappointed.

[@qweqqweq2090]

the director thought even though he took too much time to do empire he'd be lauded for his final work and be asked back for Jedi. but what he didn't know was that George had to mortgage his house and was just about having a heart attack over it.

Man, they really shouldn't made Leia Luke's sister

[@johnellizz]

Yeah it was dumb. A lazy way of resolving the romantic rivalry and trying to reproduce the 'stunning revelation' experience of Empire. Many poor decisions in Return of the Jedi.

[@sandal_thong8631]

One possibility is that Alia (A Leia) was Paul's sister in Dune, so maybe that's where it came from. Personally I think the big reveal in Episode III should have been Leia was Obi-Wan's daughter. Now that would be a result of a love triangle!

[@johnellizz]

@@sandal_thong8631 The most stunning revelation would have been Luke and Han turn out Gay and get married. Lando swoops in and gets Leia.

Still got this on VHS…… we were so mad on Star Wars back then, we imagined just about every scenario for sequels…. Fortunately our imaginations were limited to the fairy tale and all great models special effects and sets…. so so sad that we now have ‘bait and swoop’, identity politics, woke and virtue signalling …. Never thought I would miss a minute of anything ‘Star Wars’, except the last three films…. Never been Star Wars, never will be and so thankful that I have never seen them! Type in ‘Clapperboard The Empire Strikes Back Special’ on KZbin…. A nice companion to this.

[@darthwizzywizard]

Yeah it’s horrible. One thing I find is how much people in general have forgotten how things were back then. Never thought it was going to be so bad. As a kid it was like watching a miracle of possibilities. Now the reality of today is it’s become a turd. Lol.
