His appearance took a dramatic turn for the worse between the first film and the second.
It was surprising to see how different his face looked when seeing Empire Strikes Back at the theater.
My guess was that he had gotten into smoking crack — it has that effect of making the facial muscles crater and collapse.
Or it could just have been alcohol, or insomnia or something else.
Shame on you! He was in a serious car accident between the first and second movie, and his face has to be reconstructed, literally. He never took drugs.
He looked different in Empire because he’d been in a major car accident which disfigured him...hence the scene at the beginning of Empire where he is attacked by the snow creature.
He is supposed to have put his face through a car window in an accident and had plastic surgery to correct it.
Between the 1st and 2nd films, he was in a near fatal car wreck. They added the Ice Planet scene at the beginning of the movie, as I understand, to provide cover for his newly scarred appearance.
I seem to remember that he was injured in a pretty bad
car crash.
He looks fine.
Hamil had a horrific car wreck after Star Wars came out. That’s one of the reasons “Empire” started the way it did, they needed to explain how his face got so badly scarred.
He’s a lib? So what. He’s doing right by the kids and that transcends politics. He’s always impressed me as a pretty good guy.
Actually he was in a bad car wreck and needed plastic surgery
