In the interview, host Anthony Carboni requested Oz about filming the Dagobah scenes, and the performer mentioned the largest, most cold-blooded of obstacles:
“There’s all the time obstacles. That simply comes with the territory. So you are all the time uncomfortable, you are all the time in ache. You simply settle for that, and you’re employed with it. I assume the one impediment for Mark and me, which was a man-made impediment, was Kersh [director Irvin Kershner]. And I assume some folks realize it however not everyone. In Yoda’s hut, Kersh determined to place snakes within the again. There’s this frickin’ anaconda and we’re attempting to work, you realize, and this snake’s behind us, about two or three snakes, and in order that was form of freaky.”
Viewers on the lookout for the snakes can discover them in an early scene the place Luke (Hamill) and Yoda are chilling in Yoda’s hut. Luke even has to select up somewhat snake and transfer it off of the desk in Yoda’s kitchen, and you may see a reasonably massive snake curled up within the background. Oz joked that Kershner advised him that all the pieces was “gonna be fantastic,” however famous that Kershner did not be a part of them within the tiny hut set. The snakes are a kind of little particulars that make “Empire” so nice, and it is actually a disgrace that it was each Kershner’s first and ultimate “Star Wars” movie.
