It's crazy to see them already talking about a second trilogy when in fact it was still years away from happening.

Very interesting. This was before they changed it to return of the Jedi instead of revenge. It was a solid change, as revenge is not very Jedi-like.

I could watch Mark hugging that cat all day lol, it's so pure

[thehashslingingslasher]

My gosh, Carrie was so beautiful. Rest in Peace Princess

[roachdoggjr]

She’s holding that turtle like a burger lmao

My God Carrie is beautiful. Mark Hamill - what a great kid. Will Never forget 1977 premier in NYC.

How wonderfully grounded and polite they are.. oh I yearn for these days

[ledgaming]

He was so happy talking about it and this makes it that much more sad knowing how their character’s are treated in the sequels

I remember being 10 years old and there was a rumor that there were going to be at least 3 more star wars movies. We were so excited but didn't realize it would be 20 years until it happened

Carrie Fisher a beautiful woman sadly missed RIP. ❤

Funny how this interview is closer to the release of Phantom Menace then we are now 😂

I just love how that cat is burrowing into Mark Hamill like there's no tomorrow. Crushingly adorable!

[shadownote-world]

I'm still waiting for the Revenge of the Jedi, guys.

[humanbeing]

Wow Carrie looks so mature and gorgeous here. She's only 23 at this point in time. Huge crush! 😍 💓

[davewojtowicz]

Carrie Fisher is just glowing there, so beautiful!!!

"The young Alec Guinness character"

[BarryB.Benson]

That cat hiding his head away in Mark’s elbow is the cutest thing

[nikkolomakaveli]

I love the chemistry on the set between the two Carrie and Mark are/were treasures

[tajkoreddeninthearctic]

I still love that they refer to obi Wan as "Alec Guinness character"

"And then, when we're ancient, we'll take the original trilogy and take a huge dump all over it". Classic Star Wars.
