STAR WARS HISTORY : KENNY BAKER'S SON DURING MAKING OF 'EMPIRE'


via Star Wars History:

Kenny Baker recalls a funny anecdote that happened during the making of The Empire Strikes Back: 

"My youngest son, who was four at the time, didn't have his two front teeth. We were filming on the Hoth hangar set for some time, with the full size Millennium Falcon. My two boys would come on set and play in the cockpit of the Falcon with Peter Mayhew, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill in-between takes."

"For some reason, Kevin just could not say 'Harrison'. One day Harrison picked him up and said, "Listen, kid. If you can't say Harrison, then just call me Peaches", at which Mark came over and said, "Well if you're calling him Peaches, then you'd better call me Cream!" 

From then on, in our house, Han and Luke were known as Peaches and Cream!"
