Hello... Today was a great day.
I came across a person here in Norway that shares some neat stuff with me.


This photo is a scan of a poloaroid taken during the filming of ESB on the mountains of Finse in Norway.
WARS_NORGE_FINSE_ESB._POLAROID_SCAN..jpg

He was at that time 10 years of age and they dressed him up as a rebel solidier. The troopers were Norwegians.

His freinds mother was fimling some of the shots. They traveled up to the hotell to se the filming of the movie. He meet with the stars and he was allowed to wear original helmets and accessories. The googles they used for the movie was bought at the local ski shop. The weapons were hired by the army and modified them for the movie. The radar disc was an original radar that they modified. He also said that during the filming of Luke screaming for Ben in the snowstorm they were in the second floor looking out the window down on the filming. He said it was a snow storm so the crew did not want to risk their equipment outside so they open the door to the hotell and filmed from the inside and just let the guys run out and act.

He also said that they filmed a nightshot of the trench that never ha been released. Aperently it was something to do with Luke missing in the cold.

He also knew of the guys making the Snowspeeder clip. Aperently they did this from a chopper. If you look carefully you can se on the snowmobile it say Empire Strikes Back... They also had stickers on the the chopper.
:love

Some other news from Elstree... Well aprently Harrison Ford was so tired of the filming of Star Wars that he took an electric drill and started to cut milenium falcon to pieces. :lol



ORIGINAL STORYBOARD
Original_Screenplay_STAR_WARS.jpg

This comes from an original book. It looks like Mcguires drawing.
Its the ANH scene of then boarding Princes Leias ship.
Note the troopers head blowing up.. Aperently they mask were soposed to be vacumed so when the helmet was hit and leaked pressure his head blew up.. The story is allot darker.

Secondly the story i think they call Eye of Eternity that was soposed to be filmed instead of ESB is very interesting. This is were Luke and Darth vader meets and fight for the first time. This is where Luke and Leia is chased by the empire and stumbles across Vader.
Vader know nothing about Luke as his son so vader thinks he is a normal human but fast realize Lukes power the instant luke cuts of Vaders arm.

Luke and Leia flee and thats when Darth Vader gets his eyes up for Luke.
This story was intended to be filmed instead of ESB.

Also i did not know untill now that Han Solo was a former stormtrooper.
He was kicked out of the imperial academy. That is why he knew about the waste dump prosediours when they atached to the Stardestroyer.

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY!!

More photos to come...
BTW... This guy has all the original MG15 and MG42

I am most likly going to buy one..

It sounds like the novel "Splinter of the Mind's Eye" which I've always heard was the story that had been roughed out as the sequel to Star Wars. When Star Wars blew the box office through the roof they worked up ESB instead and had Allan Dean Foster novelize the first story.

Thanks for sharing!!

I will try to get more info and photos.
This guy has prototype dewback figure toy from the 1979 that was never released. He bought it from factory outlet for 2 usd.

I just love that photo of him in Rebel outfitt. Worst of all he had it down in a bag full of other photos.. MAn i whould have framed that up on the wall :)
 
His good freind have an original stormtrooper helmet that he picked up from the film as well.

Definitely interested in hearing more about this.... although there were no Stormtroopers or Snowtroopers used in location filming in Finse AFAIK. Did this guy's friend visit the set at Elstree back in 1979 by any chance?

Cool photo by the way... I love seeing pics that are taken behind-the-scenes on the original Trilogy :love Can we see some more PLEASE! :angel

Cheers,
John

There were also no speeder bikes used for the Jabba's Sailbarge sequence in ROTJ, but they had several of them on hand during filming (right MicDavis?) so just because they didn't use it has nothing to do with the idea that they may have had the stuff on hand. How likely is it that a stormtrooper helmet was hanging around a prop master who was responsible for a star wars set? Not a very tough stretch of logic here.
 
Those MG-15s are awesome but I don't think they are the ones used in ANH, if that is what is being suggested. Still... andy MG-15 is an awesome MG-15!!!
