Mark Hamill recalls 'The Empire Strikes Back', which premiered 40 years ago, as a 'make or break' for the nascent 'Star Wars' galaxy.
Mark Hamill enjoyed getting plastered for 'Empire Strikes Back'
Even back in 1979, Hamill had some experience in isolation. During filming, Hamill had his hand cast in plaster – since Vader slices off Luke’s in their lightsaber duel – and also endured a full over-the-head cast and a whole body mold for other"Empire" sequences. “They had straws in your nose and you have to sort of just Zen out and zone out, and it was kind of a peaceful experience,” Hamill says.
“That was trimmed just for time,” Hamill says. “That's the greatest good news, bad news joke ever: The good news is there's a very attractive woman in the galaxy, in which you don't see too many women at all. And the bad news is she's your sister."Hamill married Marilou York in 1978, three months before “Empire” production started, and his wife was pregnant and “really popping there”: She stayed warm and comfortable in a Norwegian lodge while Hamill worked.
He negotiated a day off for when the baby came, but getting home at dawn after the birth, a weary Hamill got called in for a shot where Luke runs, shoots a grappling hook up toward an Imperial Walker, then jumps out of the way. During the last take, Hamill sprained his thumb, badly enough that some of Luke and Vader’s lightsaber duel had to be rescheduled. “It would have been better off if they'd just let me not come in,” he says.
With the new sequels,"it wasn't really Luke's story anymore, but I was able to enjoy them. I never expected to see Carrie and Harrison , and working with all the new people was very enjoyable. That's something that will always be a part of me and I'm grateful for that. “
