AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: THE FIRST PRESS CONFERENCE

Hamill, Fisher and Kurtz pose at the Oslo press conference for TESB, also showcasing their snazzy logo-clad cold weather jackets for cast and crew.

It may be the start of the coldest winter of that time in Norway but there's still lots of warm smiles to enjoy from Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, as they, with producer Gary Kurtz (and his wife Meredith), launch the soon start of principal photography in Norway for the once called 'Star Wars II', now properly titled The Empire Strikes Back, on March 1st, 1979, amidst a plethora of keen-for-a- story world journalists and photographers arrived at the Scandinavia Hotel, Oslo.



Mark and Carrie clown around to the delight of headline-wanting photographers.
