His friend Luke Skywalker missing on the frozen plains of Hoth, Han Solo, atop his trusty but smelly Tauntaun, begins his brave search for him, during the opening of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.
At the time (March 1979), thinking himself lucky that he wasn't having to be involved in location filming in Oslo, Harrison Ford, then arrived at London's Elstree Studios, must have had quite a surprise when he discovered that his originally planned scenes set on Hoth to be filmed there would quickly be transferred to the very real and very hostile snowy wilderness of Finse, Norway-then having the worst weather conditions in fifty years!
