Rare and exclusive, behind the scenes look at 'The Empire Strikes Back' l GMA Digital 

Seeing Carrie Fisher smile is probably one of the greatest things ever.

Mark Hamill: "I think the audience was just so surprise that it wasn't just a carbon copy of the original" JJ Abrams has left the chat

Lucas :" we did not know if the Leia and Han Solo love could work" Carrie Fisher in her book : "me and harrisson Ford had an affair"

I love how Carrie didn't have any scenes to shoot in the snow but she chose to stick around to support and annoy the cast anyways. Really goes to show the kindness and wonder of her character. RIP Carrie, you are sorely missed

The Empire Strikes Back is a masterpiece. The Star Wars saga didn’t get any better.

Star Wars A New Hope: the film that started it all. Empire Strikes Back: the film that made the rest possible.

RIP Carrie Fisher. Thanks for sharing!

Seeing the original film stock makes it look sooooo good. No need for all that digital crap on the UHD. Just give us a pure 4K transfer of the theatrical version. Do it, Disney!!!!

How did Harrison Ford feel about the Tauntaun scene? "Lukewarm."

The Empire Strikes Back isn't just the best Star Wars film, its one of the best films ever made. All the Star wars films that came after live in its shadow.

The good old days. People look happier than today.

I don't think there has ever been a film that has ever made the solitude of space seem so vast. The constant chase by the Empire in deep space, Luke's training on Dagobah, the battle of Hoth, the epic showdown on cloud city....the set designs, the acting and the music has never been better than in this movie.

The snow storm was an immersion blessing. The intensity of it really makes you feel like the characters are ACTUALLY on a harsh ice planet.

2:29 the way Carrie looks at Harrison

Best star wars movie of all time

And I thought I’d seen every bts footage since 1980! 😮😁

I miss Carrie Fisher

I will always remember how I felt in the theater when I saw Empire for the first time. I adore this movie for all the reasons that Mark Hamill listed at the end of the video. May the force be with us!

John Williams Music is ENDLESS.

Empire and Raiders are my two favorite movies of all time...

0:45 "There's a new dance: Doing The Tauntaun. Three steps like this- and then _fall over"_ 5:24 _"Hi, Mom."_

This was magic...

Never seen Star Wars before and i only just started watching the whole thing on Disney Plus. I absolutely LOVE it

I have to say that ADR guys (and gals) are the unsung heroes of movie-making. The difference between raw set sound and the finished product is incredible.

Best Star Wars Movie Ever 😍😎 - RIP Carrie 🕯🤍😔

The quality of those behind the scenes shots are pretty good. Must've kept that footage really safe. I've seen a lot of behind the scenes stuff but there's a few things here I've never seen so that's pretty cool.

Easily my favorite one of the saga, at least of the original six movies alone.

To GMA: Thank you for making this ST:TESB behind-the-scenes video available.

1 of the biggest bomb lines in movie history,”I am your father”

Not only the best Star Wars movie, but one of the best films ever made

I’m glad they didn’t include the guy with the clip board in the film.

Poor Carrie, It's a shame that she is no long with us. RIP

Great to see that Mark Hamill always had a great sense of humor.

Empire is the best movie of the franchise

The Empire Strikes Back was better then anything Disney has ever done with Star Wars, all they had to do is look at the original movies take notes have good writer's and a good director and they would have made an excellent trilogy, well it's too late now.

That was the future we were dreaming about in the 80s.

When Mark Hamill says Empire Strikes Back was so different, I'm reminded of the guy who said it took Star Wars and turned it upside-down. The big battle was towards the beginning, and Luke was literally upside-down (tuchas-over-tea kettle) 3x in the movie!

Seeing the cast and crew having fun is the greatest thing I’ve seen.

That. Was beautiful.

Look how clean that film looks... omg imagine a true HD from the film, no retouching. Look how soft and wonderful it is. Damn.

Those empire strikes back winter coats are sweet

Carrie Fishers wink to Harrison says it all as far as what was going on behind the scenes.

i love the less is more feel of the original three films (some because of budget i'm sure) but i think it works well..

Mark Hamill on Empire Strikes Back: "...because it was deeper, it was more cerebral, it was more spiritual..."

the way the three of them will never be all together again does something to my heart ...💔 oh wait it does that !

Can I have 3 more hours of this?

This stuff just about tears me up when I see it. I love George and everyone behind this story. This story lives in my heart.

Greatest sequel of all time

Greatest sequel ever & best SW episode & best kiss ever (Han & Leia Carbonite room)

Before the pandemic.....before....the dark times.

Mark Hammill 'dueling' in bell-bottoms is giving me heart palpitations

The ending of this video gave me chills. I love Star Wars to much lol.

Greatest Star Wars movie EVER!!!

Yo those blue Empire jackets are fire

Holy Cow - It's a REAL tauntaun!!!!! 0:25 I knew it!!! I knew all along!!

I would kill to have one of those production jackets, brand new, in my size.

Carrie is so pretty

Ah this Movie never gets old.... Just like younglings

Amazing. Still the best Star Wars film ever made.

5:42 If that was the limit for Mark, imagine how it must've been for the Prequels.

2:29 omg I love her

Star Wars has failed for along time but you usually have to fail to achieve greatness and I believe more greatness like Empire is coming.

Carrie Fisher smiles like an angel at 2:56. Rest in peace Carrie Fisher we gonna miss you from the Philippines

This is a great extra material. Thanks for sharing with us

Han Solo that kiss was a little aggressive don’t you think, Also I’m currently dying cause I can’t breath this is so exciting to see!!!

Pure Gold!

Such an awesome movie

I wish Kershner was able to direct all of the movies

Before the dark times before disney...

Han calling Leia "Your Worship" 😂😂😂

The things they all said about that movie are so damn true! Especially mark.

Why is the video quality so good

And that's why we all Love SW's

the outdoor shoots are the best cos real weather challenges

Best Star Wars Movie Ever!

Don’t hate me, but Jedi is my fav. It’s the only one I was old enough to see in the cinema as a kid.

Mark is rocking those bellbottoms XD

The Empire Strikes Back was by far the best movie in the Star Wars saga.

you know Carrie only with them to shoot in Norway because she wanted to stay with Harrison... they shared the same flat. I don’t blame her. RIP carrie ❤️

This is great!

6:15 J.J. Abrams:"Write that down!"

I love the original trilogy

3:08 our Princess 🧡

I love it

I watched that wink at 2:28 10 times in row.

I still watch these movies and get jealous of Princess Leia, I love Han Solo😭

I'm glad I went to see that movie back in summer of 1980. I enjoy the Snow Walker battle scene of Hoth, to learning if whether or not Darth Vader is Luke's father. I have the dvd documentary of "Empire of Dreams The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy" and the blu ray of "SP FX: The Empire Strikes Back" on the Star Wars Saga. Remember: The Force will be You, Always. Now and Forever.

It seems like a real badass idea to play Luke

We miss you Carrie!

Oh yeah

mark hamill is a gem ✨❤️

coool

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

2nd best sequel of ALL TIME!!!! The best sequel of ALL is well...Hasta la VISTA BABY!!! \,,/😎\,,/
