village.<\/p>\n<p>The tiny, sleepy village of Finse was used as the location for the icy planet of Hoth, where Luke Skywalker and the Rebels hid out from the Empire.<\/p>\n<p>The cast and crew for the Star Wars sequel took over the mountain village in March 1979 to shoot the dramatic opening scenes.<\/p>\n<p>While the big screen version included tense storylines like Luke being attacked and nearly eaten by a Hoth Wampa and the Empire&#8217;s devastating attack on the Rebel base, the real-life production was a far more relaxed affair.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

filmmaking process.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The level of thought and detail required to create the props seen on screen often goes unappreciated by the cinema-going public. Drawings like these undergo numerous iterations before the building process starts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The behind-the-scenes photos are a candid glimpse behind the curtain. Very few crew members are ever allowed to document the filming process and these precious moments would otherwise have been lost to time.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The sale takes place on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12730733\/May-Norse-scenes-photographs-showing-filming-Star-Wars-hit-Empire-Strikes-Norway-discovered-44-years-later.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May the Norse be with you!
