Just imagine, the sequel to what was at the time the biggest box office hit in history and you have the chance to go to the set and visit, meeting not only the crew and cast but some of the characters of the film. That’s what happened to 8-year-old Daniel Middleton from Beeston near Nottingham, who got to meet Artoo, have a picnic on Dagobah with Luke Skywalker and experience the visit of a lifetime on the set of The Empire Strikes Back.

Very rare and exclusive footage: a lucky Star Wars Fan gets their dream come true and visits the set of The Empire Strikes Back, and gets to hang with Luke Skywalker, R2-D2 and later Chewbacca. Imagine going through this life changing experience as a very young fan getting to meet the legendary Mark Hamill at his peak and prime!
