My guess is that he’s like that in a lot of films that he works on. I mention Harrison because Kershner seemed to bounce a lot of ideas off Ford- almost as a co-director-which ended up angering Carrie Fisher. I think he’s the unsung hero of the original saga. Frank voice on-set doesn’t sound like Yoda, and did an incredible, incredible performance. And the Yoda puppet where all he was getting on his headphones was The Rolling Stones, and nobody knew at that point who was going to do the voice. He had to work with R2-D2, which was an empty shell at times. I don’t know if I’d say more than the others, because I think Mark Hamill, in particular, deserves a heck of a lot of credit for Empire. Jonathan’s book contains a factual and comprehensive account of the events surrounding the making ofThe Empire Strikes Back.”) Later, Lucasfilm issued this statement to VF Daily, “TheLos Angeles Times interview is riddled with inaccuracies.

Rinzler discusses the differences between Leigh Brackett’s original script and what we actually saw on screen, Harrison Ford’s secret rewrites, Empire producer Kary Kurtz’s recent accusations in the Los Angeles Times, and, most importantly: Why exactly did the Millennium Falcon keep breaking down during Empire? Mike Ryan: A few weeks ago, Star Wars and Empire producer Gary Kurtz was quoted in the Los Angeles Times saying that he left the series because it became too concerned about marketing toys. VF Daily spoke to Rinzler about the trials and tribulations behind the production of the legendary film-a production Lucas financed himself, that was barraged by cost overruns and shooting schedule disasters.
Rinzler-described by Lucasfilm as their own Indiana Jones-is the author of The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
Tune in later this week for an interview with legendary director Irvin Kershner. Over the next few days, VF Daily will be running a series of interviews coinciding with the release. The book is packed with hundreds of rarely seen behind the scene photographs which you can preview here. In celebration of the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, Lucasfilm is releasing a comprehensive history of the making of the groundbreaking film, aptly titled The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
