Below is an excerpt from the chapter Scruffy Looking Nerf Herder which covers the filming ofThe Empire Strikes Back.
We were in a complete whiteout with nothing to do.
Why do it on the stage?
Lucasfilm
I had to bring my costume with me.
He put me in a car.
He spoke not a word of English.
Lucasfilm
He drove me to a train station.
He took my bag out of the back and put it in the train station.
I followed my bag and sat down on a bench, and nobody spoke English.
I had no idea in the world where I was going or how I was going to get there.
That was the means of conveyance.
Dutifully, Ford climbed into the passengers seat beside the driver of this snowplow, or snow-removing beast.
I sat next to him in the cab.
He didnt speak English, and we set off.
Then, we swiveled around and went three hours back and then continued to our destination.
It was about ten hours as I remember.
