AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: TREAT WILLIAMS - REBEL SOLDIER!

New recruits: Treat Williams and Carrie Fisher!

It takes all sorts to win a war against the Empire, both in front of and behind the camera, as the soldier ranks within the Rebels of Hoth include two distinctive names for a crowd scene set in their hangar bay- American actor Treat Williams, a visitor (amongst other famous on-set guests) to the then newly opened Star Wars Stage over in the UK (presumably on a Fox related movie project, and no stranger to this country's film work in the mid-seventies, having appeared in spy thriller The Eagle Has Landed) and Carrie Fisher, who, even though busy enough playing Princess Leia again, sneaked in a fun background cameo to further swell the ranks. 

If anyone has been able to find Williams and Fisher in the hangar bay scene, please get in touch. It is likely the moment where Luke is racing to his speeder as Rebel soldiers rush past.
