BEHIND THE SCENES: CHASM COMEDY!


Late Spring 1976: Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill, supported by Stunt coordinator Peter Diamond, have scary but exhilarating fun in the practise for what would be the one-take only classic Death Star chasm swing-certainly this authors favourite moment from the original STAR WARS: full of action, romanticism and a superb John Williams score.

The lively hit DISCOVERY UK HD factual series MYTHBUSTERS has a special STAR WARS themed episode next Monday evening, titled Revenge of the Myth, of which one of the scenes examined is the Luke and Leia swing across. The MYTHBUSTERS team wonder if that swing could actually be done for real. What will their results yield? Check it out here: Mythbusters Star Wars Episode
