Mark Hamill was such a professional even back then. And he’s been doing it for 40 years now. What a class act he is.
Luke Skywalker hello there!
Hello There! 😆😆😆
He’s messing up his legacy right now though
5:46 Cutest and priceless thing ever, Carrie and Mark having a duet of the Rebel Fight song. "Rebels are we, born to be free. Just like the fish in the sea!" SPACE TWINS IRL
tj aquino they're so pure i cant
Thierry you forgot the dum bum bum
Mark Hamill Was Born 5 Years Earlier Than Carrie Fisher. So They Aren’t Twins.
Nice, can't wait for the movie to come out
Shanes11 it came 37 years ago
Shanes11 it came 37 years ago
pretty sure that was a joke
My uncle is a camera man and he got me a copy so I've already seen it.
@@Verse84 cool
People talked so differently back then on tv. So weird.
Yes, they actually say smart things! Although they're a bit like they're talking to children and stuff...
You mean boring?
yes - calmly. They had time to think.
There was less focus on comedy and entertainment, it was less scripted
They're all high on something it seems.
People say this interview was boring, but it's honest and pure, unlike the manufacured ones we get nowadays. Kids these days.
I CAN HEAR HIM TALK FOR HOURS. SO CALMING AND HE'S SO DAMN HANDSOME
me too girl
He's one of the most handsome men I've ever seen. He looks like a blond Leonard Whiting
They're so polite and well spoken, as opposed to today's ego-blown stars..... what a difference. And Carrie is absolutely stunning.
True! I Agree
Seems like celebrities were more normal and straight-forward back then. Today, they’re asshole and weird. That’s the new normal.
Every fifty years they say the same thing though. The only ones that are remembered are the ones with class.
@@allisonhamilton9481 yup people watch stars from the 50s on tv and say how the kids from the 70s have no class these days. We’ll be saying the same about the likes of emma Watson in 20 years against some new young actor. We never change 😂
Whenever I see Mark Hamill I'm really struck by how well-spoken and genuine he is.
Very true. My only beef with him hanging in the cave is just how the Wampa managed to get him in that position. It's all very effective for the scene and plot, it's now just become something that I can't ever unthink about when I see it
I don't know why but I think I like the young Mark Hamill, he's cute. Also Carie Fisher is sooooo beautiful. I always fall in love with Star Wars casts.
@ElementOfLoyalty Agreed. I don't know why girls always crushed on Han. I always liked Luke better.
I agree!
@@FireMinstrel Same here! My mom grew up with the movies and she always had a thing for Han Solo. Han Solo is adorable but he doesn't hold a candle to Luke in my opinion.
That little musical duet between Mark and Carrie at the end was so cute!
Mark Hamill humble and cool as always!
It’s fun watching people explain blue screen technology and stop motion animation at a time where it’s fairly new.
Kelly Pagano Those techniques had been in use for about 40 years by the time Star Wars premiered. That'd be like calling this interview fairly new.
Well that's a bit much
Those had been around a while but Empire won an Oscar for improving them.
When people say Carrie Fisher wasn't hot I will direct them to this video. She's stunning.
Who will ever say that
Carrie looks so stunning in this
I like how Mark is more talkative about the movie making process than from his latest interview. He's more excited and more involved
Carrie was too busy stooping Harrison.
Lucas crushed his enthusiasm. Plus he's getting old, let Mr. Hamill not give a fuck.
Love how Mark is always so enthusiastic about the whole film making process ..
It always amazes me how some people look like another person as they age... you can relate the 2010s harrison ford with his younger self, but 2010s Carrie Fisher looks entirely like a different person
Well she did have a nose job towards the end of the 90’s, and a lip job in the mid 00’s, so of course she looked different.
@@Metalwhore89 She didn't just have a lip job. Something happened to her jawline. You can clearly see it.Totally altered her face.
Damn, Hamill is engaging, pleasant, respectful and erudite. I am shocked how genuine and well spoken he is. All without attending University. I'm impressed. "Most impressive" as his FICTIONAL father once pronounced regarding his skills. Never having attended university and yet being so well spoken makes me think he possesses a formidable I.Q.
being "well spoken" has never been the preserve of the educated. that presumption indicates your own prejudice ::: :
He majored in drama at Los Angeles City College.
Goodness me, Carrie Fisher was so beautiful.
I like how half the interview was them explaining what blue screen was. And now we have things like CGI haha
Not to mention people use GREEN screens now. Supposedly if you get enough subscribers, TH-cam will even send you one of those as a prize. Not sure why they changed it to green.
"The Empire Strikes Again." Yep, much better title.
I think Strikes Back makes more sense in context
aviduser1961 no. Bc strikes back makes sense. They're retaliating at the rebels for destroying the death star
well nostalgia also makes it a lot better automatically. Personally the last jedi is my 3rd favorite star wars movie. they made the characters more realistically human and the acting was probably some of the best surprisingly in all of Mark Hamill's career. Even though he wasn't like he was in the other films it only makes sense he would be like he is at that age. No one really stays the same. Things happen. Plus theres a lot of sub context you can very easily miss in the movie and its actually quite important. That I would view as a huge flaw but i guess rian wanted it to be like that.
aviduser1961 Dammit they did it again...
Strikes Back is infinitely better lol
Imagine being in a car accident and it turns out you hit fucking Luke skywalker.
He would probably 'force' you to pay for repairs
I bet he wish he was a 'sky' 'walker' instead of driving a car
That's what happens when you get 'Carried' away
Driver didn't light his Honda Saber
Okay, I'm done.
They are soo cute!
1:43 - Luke hoping & still thinking he has a chance to be with Leia. If only you knew... :D
Of course when this interview took place the plan was for them to get together in the third one but then Lucas changed his mind in the last minute, at least that's my understanding. Too bad, Luke is probably better relationship material than Han.
I see. No wonder that one kissing scene that they have to cut-off exist :]
No, he finds it out in Return of the Jedi.
I hope he returns in Episode IX :)
Gormbark 3000 It's been confirmed that he will but having been killled in episode 8, in what capacity is the larger question.
Mark Hamill explaining stop-motion filming like no one else.
Mark was so enthusiastic and in to the process of the whole production. Compare and contrast with his demeanour on The Last Jedi press junkets.
Carrie was so beautiful here. Mark was adorable, too.
she was a very beautiful woman
Prime Fisher
Carrie Fisher was fit as fuck
This had to have been closer to 1980......
You are correct. The information we were given is inaccurate. Thank you for pointing it out. We will research and correct.
Empire Strikes Back!!!! My favorite!!
i swear EVERY interview with these guys they look higher than the video quality. :)
Was thinking the same thing lol
I love how calm they are
What's wrong with the audio?? Damn she was so beautiful.
on the left ear only
These interviews were all recorded in mono. When they are digitally transferred, they are transferred into stereo. When that happens, the mono channel only goes through the left channel.
umm you can just make mono channel go through both the stereo channels during conversion =___=
they spoil everything xDDD
lol back then they didnt give a shit xD
XXXven0mXXX What about Vader being his father?
Sam Percival, nope. Mark was one of the 3 people who knew about it.
XXXven0mXXX LMAOOOOOO
I really think the quality of these interviews were better simply because the guest knew that the interviewer wasn't going to be a turd to them halfway through the interview.
Ha! Carrie Fisher obviously didn't need school. She was a tremendous success and she knew what she was doing.
John Taylor Gatto would be proud.
Thanks for sharing.
Carrie was such a likeable person. Its hard to believe that things ended up that way for her in life. Alot of it has to do with this toxic hollywood environment that she found herself growing up in, and one thing leads to another and before you know it your hooked on drugs and drink which subsequently destroyed her and led to her early demise when you are not strong enough or mature enough as a person mentally and find you self being said and led by negative influences. !
What? I mean she died too young. Carrie herself would say she took a lot of risks. Just because you do things RIGHT doesn't mean you die at ninety. I've known far too many people that didn't see thirty.
@@NormAppleton Yep, same here.
Mark Hamill is still the same today, so good to know
watching this on 2020 .....anybody else?
stop spoiling the movie dammit. not everyone saw it yet
Dick Jason du vllt aber es gibt noch genug andere die nicht so denken
Dick Jason What are you trying to achieve by doing that?
Dick Jason There are people who love the movie,like the movie and hate the movie like you. Now just move on and let people love what they want.
Dick Jason Wtf? Rape is a crime and can scarred people for the rest of their lives. Stop it with your overreacting. It's just a movie. You're worse than all the dramatic bitches that I've encountered. It's called having an opinion which I'm free to have. Now stop acting like a teenager going through an emo phase.
Dick Jason *IT'S JUST A MOVIE* Shh...Let it go already...
Mark sounds funny, still great though! Love seeing Carrie, the whole cast is so great!
RIP Carrie Fisher 1956-2016😥
"The Empire Strikes Again"
Nailed it.
Mark Hamill is so cute! OMG
I like how there is no bulky desk! The interview is intimate and calm. It is sad that people need so much flash to pay attention to an interview. Now we use gimmicks and skits all the time. Sure this is fun and i enjoy them. But i feel it is all too much sometimes.
R.I.P. Carrie Fisher😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
She looked much younger in real life than in the Star wars
my left ear enjoyed this
Its nice to remember that nothing has changed....the news reporters are still clueless..
she had a gorgeous smile
You just can't beat these movies
he more mellow here than he is now !
christ pre "no i am your father" it's just crazy to imagine a time where one of the greatest cinematic scenes in film wasn't known..
I love how really about storytelling everything used to be
Carrie looks beautiful!!!
Carrie was so beautiful!
Que Guapa Carrie Fischer...
I would guess that both guests are exhausted. Leta Powell Drake was a character in her own right.
It's a damned shame what Carrie did to herself back in the day with drugs and alcohol. God, she was so beautiful back then. RIP.
Ahh, Mark. So articulate, boyish and hot.
Carrie once said that the original cast casually used drugs and I can see it in mark hamill in this interview
Carrie Fisher is and was beautiful
Wow. I'd never related AT-ATs to War of the Worlds. Mark's awesome.
He even compares the book versus the film versions of War of the Worlds! Impressive background information for good interview fodder. I still like him for he is also a film fan. Why are you the first comment I have read on this thread though? He is under-appreciated?
Carrie Fisher was so beautiful during her years in the Star Wars Trilogy. It's such a shame that she destroyed herself with drugs and really became a very strange person. You could barley recognize her in her later years.
She did it " her waaaaay" ala Frank Sinatra song and that's why you and I remember her and others who conform...not so much.
She had bipolar disorder.
Surely if they were interviewing about empire strikes back this would not be 1984 it would be 1980 or at the very latest 1981.
You are correct. The information we were given is inaccurate. Thank you for pointing it out. We will research and correct.
I like how the interviewer tells Carrie off for not finishing school lol
lol
Man, Carrie was really something else in her day.
carrie was beautiful, as always
Amaaaazing.......
Prawie rodzeństwo
Daisy and John’s relationship is evolving very similar to Mark and Carrie’s now that I think of it.
nope.....
Who are Daisy and John??
RIP CARRIE FISHER.
this was before they knew that they played siblings but i cringed when mark said there’s still hope for like and lei a’s relationship
She was soo sweet, rip in peace Carrie 😪
These were interviews before social media... they were very private
2017
LG Lena
wow she is mezmorisingly beautiful
Aww they look like two couples going on a lovely date
Wow, these two were so attractive at the time of the first Star Wars movie. What an impression this must have given to worldwide audiences about America.
I like to think that Carrie introduced Mark to smoking and drinking before this interview. In a cute way. I also realized that I'm quite a bit older than them here (reached thirty). Damn. HAVE FUN KIDS! PS. No, I'm not Han Solo
PPS. A cross between a Sherman tank and a camel? Damn! This interviewer woman isn't half bad either!
My right ear enjoyed this interview...😂
For me it went in my left ear 😅😂
1.50 “oh yeah I’m always in there” what a savage.
Chatshow preview clips were hella long back in the day...
Looks like you kind of like Han Solo.. the irony of what she has revealed of their relationship IRL
Carrie was in her early 20’s here. She was 19: when she filmed the first Star Wars. No pressure. As we know now, Harrison Ford was having an affair with her. She had a lot to deal with at a very young age. As for Mark, in between Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back he was in a bad car accident and messed his face up, lots of scarring. That’s why Luke looks so much older in the second film.
He talks about his injuries in this interview and says himself they weren't as bad as people imagine. People have been exaggerating the results of that one car wreck for over 40 years. lol
Carrie Fisher was EXTREMELY good looking.
This movie looks great!
I predict that It's going to change EVERYTHING! 👍😂
Edit; Omg EVERY interview they did with Carrie Fisher back then they asked her about dropping out of school at age 15 it's SO friggin' ridiculous!
Get your priorities straight, people! She's here to promote her movie, (you know; the ONLY reason you're even TALKING to either of them right now,) not answer questions about completely unrelated and irrelevant PERSONAL crap like that!
It's so obvious they're trying to over-sensationalize the interview, they could have asked her ANYTHING in the little bit of time they had and she wasted the last opportunity on THAT!
Absolutely disgusting!
When does the movie hit theaters?
That collar looks like a starfighter.
Auto generated subtitles at 1:43
Nice, the funniest thing that I have seen on TH-cam in quite a while.
Page summary:
- She hot.
- He cool.
- They used to speak English ... WOW!
- OMG spoilers!
- LH channel missing
- The interviewer is trans, no?
Pretty sure the movie wasn't called 'The Empire Strikes Again'.
They almost showed the whole movie. That's a clip?
She was so beautiful & elegant 😩🙏
Damn she's hot!
Damn right! and Carrie Fisher isn't that bad looking either!
Ulick Owen I think he was talking about carrie not the interviewer lol
She's dead
Carrie was bae.
Mark Hamill is an awesome man.
In a parallel universe there's a musical Star Wars.
