Where to begin...where to begin...How about we start in Norway?




TFN reader and 501st member Christain R. was nice enough to send over a couple pics with the following e-mail:

"This past weekend aprox. sixty members of the 501st traveled to Norway and saw the original exterior locations for Hoth in "The Empire Strikes Back". The Legion stayed at the same hotel as the crew did in 1979 and hiked to the all the locations where they shot the movie. One of the original producers from Fox Norway, Bjorn Jacobsen, talked about his experiences in making the movie and the bad weather they faced when shooting there."

Thanks Christian! We hope you all had a blast!
