Hope all you geeks, me included, have a happy STAR WARS day and MAY the 4th Be with you.
As probably all you Star Wars fans know it is the national day for a galaxy far far away this day.
Guess they are celebrating at Tatooine, Hoth, Naboo and all the other planets in the system.
And since a huge part of my favorite filme, The Empire Strikes back, was filmed in Norway, I am celebrating to day.
All the scenes from the ice planet Hoth was filmed in Finse in the winter time.
Here our hero Darth Wader has made claim of Finse in the name of the Empire
Here you see the classic attack on the rebel base, initiated by the AT-AT Walker
Well, this was my little geek side that came out.
Until next time, stay safe, warm and dry.
Kindest regards

Hi @gyldenhorn
I've been busy lately for your follow-up
i missed your articles.
My favorite character in the film it's Yoda
Since 2013, Walt Disney Pictures, now the owner of the Star Wars license since the acquisition of Lucasfilm, has made May 4 even more of a Star Wars day.
That is so true @Redouanemez and it is said the Disney is going to expand the univers with more standalone films
Hi @gyldenhorn
Glad to see you back. After a few days, do not read your post. As I know the movie "Star wars" is indeed very successful, there are several other series, which must be watched. Have a nice day. And the celebration went well.
Thx a lot @Amuchtar This week is also a bit hectic, but will try to make a post later to day or maybe to morrow. We are having a fest here for my youngest daughter, celebrating that she is coming into the adults world. It is a standard here in Norway. Think I will make a post of it to morrow evening.
You are welcome. @gyldenhorn.
Hopefully your youngest daughter event goes well. and fun of course.
I am waiting for your next post :)
"May the 4th be with you" is a full-fledged unofficial holiday, "Star Wars Day."
Actually, as far as Lucasfilm and Disney are concerned, it's quite official.
As legend has it, and according to the origin story recognized by Lucasfilm, the phrase was first used on May 4, 1979, the day Margaret Thatcher took office as UK prime minister. The Conservative party allegedly placed an ad in the London Evening News which read, "May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations."
Sir, I am giving a link below. You can check the details if you want.

STAR WARS is one of my most favorite movie series of all time. I watched everyone of them from "A New Hope to Rogue One" except the last one "Solo: A Star Wars Story". I didn't know Dear @Gyldenhorn, you are a great fan of STAR WARS Movies. This is so amazing that you Sir @Gyldenhorn love STARS WARS Movies & i also love STARS WARS Movies.
Same here @Pijon I think I have watched them at least 30 times each, maybe a lot more. Looking forward to the stand alone Solo: A Star Wars Story. It has premiere in the cinema here in Norway the 25 of MAY I think.
I am going to be first in line to get a ticket :)
Dear @Gyldenhorn, you watched every movies of that Star Wars series 30 times each OMG!! You are the biggest fan of the STAR WARS Series & i am a little fan compare to You Sir. I watched each one 5 maybe 6 times. Like you Sir I also eagerly waiting for the last part "Solo: A Star Wars Story".
Thx a lot @Shea76 :)
For your Honor Sir @Gyldenhorn
Did you know The Empire Strikes Back is the Star Wars film with the saga’s lowest body count, with just 30 deaths appearing on screen. When the movie was released on May 21st 1980, The Empire Strikes Back became the first Star Wars film to have a number by its title in the opening credits - Episode V. Back in 1977 the original Star Wars was not called A New Hope nor did it feature 'Episode IV', this came later when Star Wars was re-released as a double bill with Empire on April 10th 1981.
Thx for that nice info @Mdsahid :)
Happy star wars day :) Little late though, did you get to run the movie marathon?
Thx a lot @K3nb0b Was working late so didn't had the time to do a marathon this year :(
