Joe: We're gonna do a deep dive into Empire Strikes Back.
Mark: Here's 35 adorable stories about making the first Star Wars.
Bless Mark they ask him about Empire and he talks 40 minutes straight about A New Hope. Still great stories never the less.
I love how they somewhat try to steer the discussion to Empire but Mark just doesn‘t even care. 😂
Seeing the shine in Anthony Russo's eyes while Mark Hammil speaks is priceless
Agreed. You could tell they all got a lot from this. And Mark's memory is uncanny, remembering names and processes and so much.
Right???
So true, and I understand completely, he was watching his childhood hero speak... I'd probably cry if I were him
They're all in a trance
Mark goes on a tangent in every question hahaha
But he always returns to the question and nails it! 😊
40 minute tangent lol
Mark Hamill is a national treasure.
You are right sir well said 😊😊
911 was a national tragedy
The original Star Wars Trilogy is my holy trinity. I can’t believe this video only has 1500 views. It needs 15 million.
g floyd = psy op
Now, I'm realising that in Infinity War, Thor's arc resembles Luke Skywalker's arc in The Empire Strikes Back. In the first act, he gets beaten by a giant monster, then gets saved by Han Solo ( Star Lord ), then he goes on a personal journey to Degobah ( Niðavellir ) to learn the skills/ get weapon from a dwarf character, accompanied by R2D2 ( Rocket & Groot), then returns to fight the villain in the third act and loses, ending with a Cliff hanger

🤯 Sounds correct to me! And, no, this is not "just another standard plot." Those are some very tight similarities. It does change course in Endgame though, where Thor is a broken man.
At around the 35 minute mark when Mark is talking about having to hold the lightsabre with two hands - For me, the sabre fight at the End of Empire is the best in the series. I’ve always LOVED that Luke has to hold the sabre with two hands while Vader just swipes him away with one. It’s terrifying!
I agree to me this one is the best, with jedi second close, I love the bare figth, no unnecessary twirling we see in the prequels, the lighting, set, tone. Just perfect. The only other one I feel as strongly is Vader’s hallway massacre in rogue one, his moves perfectly match the style in empire
Wow so nice to see Mark Hamill talk about Star Wars with passion and love. The classic trilogy is so iconic and beloved 😍 ❤
I saw Empire in the theatres when it came out when I was 9 years old. The three year gap between that ending and Jedi was absolutely agonizing.. in all the years since then, I'd never had another movie experience like hat until Avengers Infinity War. So having all these guys talk movies together is amazing.
I was 8. People just don't know how that felt. I denied Vader as Luke's father for that 3 years.
righteousbrother and yet Endgame sucked lol
@@Liamnerfdude1 Endgame was the single best MCU movie. The two Infinity movies did feel like ESB and ROTJ structurally, but in the case of the MCU, the grand conclusion was the better movie.
Just FANTASTIC! What a treasure Mark is, so open to talking about everything, which is exactly what we LOVE to hear: EVERYTHING!
Just wonderful!
Mark Hamil is so amazing. I love that he loves to reminisce about the original Star Wars trilogy. His memory of the making of these films is a blessing for all of us fans. Thank you for this.
what i wouldnt give for a luke skywalker movie written & directed by the russo bros.
they need to watch Spider-Man 2 and invite Sam Raimi on the show, and get Joe's Pizza.
Pizza Time.
This would be EPIC!
The pizza would arrive after the episode was over😂😂
@@Rowebot15 Has to be Maguire delivering the pizza as well.
Joe's 29 minutes guarantee is a PROMISE, man!
Oh boy yeah
Always a pleasure and a hoot to hear Mark Hamilton talk about the original trilogy.
I’m so glad mark has a great relationship with the fans that’s what makes it even more special 😊😊😊
I don't generally like when celebrities become content creators in podcasting or on TH-cam, but this is genuine and done well and succeeded in getting Mark Hamill to abandon his normal rolodex of Star Wars talking points. What a treasure trove of amazing 1st hand BTS knowledge!
I’ve just come across this interview thank you for this now 37 I remember my dad who passed when I was 14 told me he had taped Star Wars for me I was hooked and have been ever since a Star Wars huge fan for ever I love the universe so magic 😊😊😊😊😊
I always love listening to Mark Hamill talking about the SW experience..
25:57 Mark's British crew member impression is genius. Haven't heard that one before.
Does part 1 mean there is more? Because I could watch hours of this, I’m a brand new Star Wars fan and just watched it for the first time during quarantine. I love all these behind the scenes details and this interview asked some really interesting questions. Fingers crossed there is more, Mark Hamill is a class act
31:08
Mark: "We always called Harrison 'Dad', especially..."
Me: "Carrie?"
Lol
I thought the same thing.
Harrison is only 9 years older than Hamill.
Especially Carrie 😏
16:14 - Hey Joe Russo, about the Leia: I love you and Han: I know.
In a 2010 Vanityfair interview, Irvin Kershner revealed more to this line, and the fact that George Lucas did not like it.
Question: One of the biggest surprises in the book is that, in 1980, you had to convince interviewers you were not just following George’s direction. Obviously no one thinks that today. What was the biggest argument you and George had over a particular scene?
Irvin Kershner: There was really only one disagreement. It was the Carbon Freeze scene when Princess Leia says, “I love you.” Han Solo’s response in the script was, “I love you, too.” I shot the line and it just didn’t seem right for the character of Han Solo. So we worked on the scene on the set. We kept trying different things and couldn’t get the right line. We were into the lunch break and I said to Harrison try it again and just do whatever comes to mind. That is when Harrison said the line, “I know.” After the take, I said to my assistant director, David Tomblin, “It’s a wrap.” David looked at me in disbelief and said something like, “Hold on, we just went to overtime. You’re not happy with that, are you?” And I said, yes, it’s the perfect Han Solo remark, and so we went to lunch.
George saw the first cut and said, “Wait a minute, wait a minute. That’s not the line in the script.” I said ““I love you, too’ was not Han Solo.” Han Solo was a rebel. George felt that the audience would laugh. And I said, that’s wonderful, he is probably going to his death for all they know. We sat in the room and he thought about it. He then asked me, “Did you shoot the line in the script?” I said yes. So we agreed that we would do two preview screenings once the film was cut and set to music with the line in and then with the line out. At the first preview in San Francisco, the house broke up after Han Solo said I know. When the film was over, people came up and said that is the most wonderful line and it worked. So George decided not to have the second screening.
George was the best producer I ever worked with. He left me alone and only came to England a few times. I told George at one point that I was behind schedule, not that it was anyone’s fault, but because it was so complex. Many of the special effects that were done on set often did not work at all. His answer was, “Keep doing what you are doing. Just keep shooting.” This was the greatest thing for a director to hear from a producer.
I frickin' love screenplays that have a down beat at the end, even if everything seems wrapped up. 'INSOMNIA' springs to mind.
Mark is such a great storyteller, and his voices and impersonations are spot on.
I can listen to Mark Hamill for hours and hours.
What a sincere video. Just, thank you for a genuine grouping of artists sharing their experiences. I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciate this.
Woah! I had no idea this channel existed. I'm gonna have an absolute field day with these 😁
So many legends in one video
i could listen to Mark Hamill analyze the Star Wars movies and the making of those movies for hours
How has this channel not blown up by now? These guys gave us INFINITY WAR and ENDGAME! Not to mention getting Luke Skywalker himself on the show...
This video is Movie knowledge GOLD.... Mark Hamill's impressions are almost flawless and very funny
This IS film school!
Anyone else think that intro should play before every agbo movie.
Thanks for posting in TH-cam
I love this so much. I cant remember the last time I watched something I loved this much
man this just pisses me off even more about what disney did to Luke. Mark is still passionate about the character and series, its amazing
Thanks for this! 💜 #RussoBrosPizzaFilmSchool #StarWars #TheEmpireStrikesBack
How have I not seen this. So many legends 🤩
Me: Why is this episode a two-parter?
Mark: Let me tell you a story...
WOW Mark Hamill, great!
Pizza Film School on Aliens? If you could get Cameron on this it would be surreal.
No matter what Disney did to Luke in the sequel trilogy. I will always remember the real Luke from Episodes IV-VI
Daaaaammnnnn...that was so entertaining! Perfect 7pm Sunday!!
This is an incredible video. I love this window into a time when everything was wonderful and innocent.
Thanks for sharing these. 👍👍❤
Thank you Russo's and Markus&Mcfeely. Please keep giving us more of this content.
Stay on topic, mark, stay on topic...
that was amazing. thank you
This was so entertaining! ThankYou!
thanos dancing at the beginning though lol .
Live watching Mark Hamill hold court, and share the glory days. Great video all around!
Best titles on TH-cam.
Thank you for this and Pt 2 - to all involved by particularly the very generous Mark Hamill. What great stories he tells.
It's funny hearing Hammil talk about the ski lodge in Norway, as my aunt and uncle is currently running that lodge. This was of course before they took over, but still cool to think about
Saw Extraction today as well! Excellent film! Excited to settle in with more Russo Bros and Master Jedi 🙌🏽
Thanks for doing & posting this! I am so stoked- 1 of my 1st memories is seeing Empire in the theater as a child. Now a local drive in is going to play it in a few days & I get to take my son! The circle is complete!
This is the best thing I've seen on TH-cam this year
Finished the video. It was good and interesting. Good job guys. (Dan from Inside the booth)
This was so enjoyable! I never get tired of hearing behind the scenes stories of the making of the Star Wars Trilogy! I am a fan for life!💙
I am glad the Russo Bros. did the big MCU films. In a perfect world they finish Endgame and then Start on Eps 7,8,9 of Star Wars.
Mark Hamill really is the goat
This is super interesting so happy i found this. Hope they do more.
TBF, Mark's ANH stories were genuinely functioning as set-up for his ESB stories. 😋
Thanks so much for this. Love the commentary on what to me still is the best SW movie ever. Mark Hamill rocks!
Great stuff guys!
the 3 act play, around the hero's journey. I mean, you cant go wrong.
Bravo!
Great stuff guys👍
Good stuff Gentalmen loved it .👍💕
Russo brothers for the next star wars movies.
What??? This IS a thing???? Subscribed at light speed!!!
Pizza and nerds go together like nerds and virginity
In a 1978 British TV Interview Alec Guinness said that when he first received the script for Star Wars what drew his attention was "written by George Lucas". He said he knew he'd made American Graffiti and so anything by him would be interesting and worth reading. I was surprised by this as I couldn't imagine Alec Guinness being aware of American Graffiti, let alone interested by it. Mark's comment here clears that mystery up.
Would love to get this show in podcast form
Mark is not so much about script structure, he is just an anecdotes galore cannon that waits for a cue to blow. :)
My favourite directors talk about my favourite movie from my second favourite franchise.
What timeline is this????
I love it...
Why am I only seeing these now. TH-cam get your algorithm together!
Dagobah, the one swamp you never want to drain :D
always wanted to play my evil twin.... be careful what you wish for :D
I have a really great series of stories fyi.... maybe someday could toss you a full script....
The trouble is my scripts are always half written ideas and general story flow
th-cam.com/video/9LJfg2QY9vc/w-d-xo.html
Hooray for the vegan pizza nod! 🐄 ✨
Finally confirmed they split the middle into four sequences! Always wanted to ask!
Can the russo brothers please do an episode breaking down their avenger film plot structures so I can know for sure?
I knew based on their commentaries that they used Midpoints, but because I analysed the avengers (including Civil War) films as four acts and they kept referring to them as 3 acts, i was never sure. But essentially its the same, just that the middle act is split by the midpoint (so commonly referred to as act 2A and 2B i just refer to as acts 2 and 3) and both acts are again split by sequencing much like the Inciting Incident seperates the ordinary world and key decision / crossing the threshold (i.e. in Civil War, the ordinary world is Cap and Tony dealing with the perils of collatoral damage, and the Inciting Incident introduces the Accords, seperating the sections about living consequence free to the sections where Tony is guilt ridden and Cap is deciding whether to sign them, until Cap finally decides not to sign - end of act one. I THINK).
good one
HIRE ME RUSSO BRO'S! brazilian cinephile with 2 film diplomas and working as a uber delivery =(... be more than happy to be a field production assistant! love your work!
Also, Mark didn't realize that Vader wasn't using two hands at the beginning of the fight. He didn't take Luke seriously and was just testing Lukes abilities. That changes at some point and he goes all in. You can see how he positions his SECOND hand on the hilt because he wanted to break Lukes resistance. You can see it. The saber fights in "Empire" and "Jedi" seem very emotional. It seems like something was at stake. The prequel fights were like a ballet. Harmless.
Sending love from the @screenrant fam!
I can listen to Mark Hamill talk Star Wars forever & a day.
Spider-Man : Hey guys, you ever see that really old movie, Empire Strikes Back?
War Machine : Jesus, Tony, how old is this guy?
Iron Man : I don't know, I didn't carbon date him. He's on the young side.
Spider-Man : You know that part? When they're on the snow planet? With the walking thingies?
You need to have Marky back for CorvetteSummer&The Big Red One,YO!!:)
Has Mark got a book? I'd love to read a book of making Star Wars just from his pov lol
After hearing just a few minutes of this I'm already hoping for a russo brothers star wars movie. Disney or lucas film need to get these guys on board ASAP
I don’t understand. Was Lawrence Kasdan unavailable?
I just love to think Mark Hamill finds any reason he can to dive into a Harrison Ford impression.
i think i’m the 1000th sub
The one film that changed my life forever! "Star Wars - A New Hope!" I was a 5 year old starry eyed boy growing up on an Air Force Base in Austin...I bugged my late Dad Bob to take me to see Star Wars, that I saw a trailer on tv. He took me in his blue Volkswagon Beetle to a local drive-in. I fell in love with film, and I thought I had a "vision" that I wanted to make my own films. But, I didn't know how I would do that.....Until I found out, years later...I could WRITE! Now, I'm an up and coming Screenwriter
in Boston...I have two Screenplays in the works at the moment. Google : markusmclaughlin dot net! :D
Came for Mark Hamill, stayed for the Harrison Ford impressions.
The movies were for kids I’m 37 next month take me to that happy 😃 place any time 😊😂👍
Great video! Thanks for doing those. But why not just use a structure with 5 acts like Shakespeare did?
I feel so much like Mark Hamill has raised me right.
All the kids at school were Han Solo this and that. I am always a Luke fan. I feel like I could bring my toys out and waste hours.
I've never known someone who wasnt a Luke fan so idk where you're from. :/
Mark Hamill’s life must be so weird. He has to answer the same questions to thousands of people over the years.
Indeed, this would (fairly) irk most people (See: Harrison Ford :P) but he has such a passion for both Star Wars and the fans that he seems to genuinely love recounting and regaling these stories to people, the mans a gem:)
