The speeder salesman in his native habitat. Observe how old Ben has turned his back on him. I’m not saying he has anything against the facially challenged species… But he does. PS: Observe the disembodied hand floating in the upper left hand of the image. A not oft seen species meant for the original trilo… No wait, that’s just the cursor from the Behind the Magic CD.

The full sandcrawler set on the salt flats of Tunisia. The mound in the bottom left corner, which is the edge of the hole-in-the-ground, is just a mound though, there is no hole in the ground, that was shot at a different location altogether. PS: A storm tore this set apart. View high resolution

I’ve got nothing… But The Making of Star Wars does (p156), which you should own if you’re reading this I might add. The Sandcrawler set, as seen here anyway - it was later moved to a canyon - was placed near the border between Tunisia and Libya, and had to be inspected by the Libyan army, who suspected it to be part of a military mobilization. The set itself only reached a couple of meters above frame, as you can see in this photo. Also it cost $128.000 anno 1976. PS: No wonder ‘red’ blew a casket, check out that guy pulling all the wires out of him! View high resolution

Don’t know what’s cooler, that R2 recharges his batteries with a BLC, or that his dome looks like a hoodie. Also, considering that it’s a desert planet and not an oasis planet, what the hell is up with the trees in the background?… Hey, wait a minute… That’s a set! Foiled again! Grrr! View high resolution

Carrie Fisher and her double, Sandi Gross on the set of Jabba’s Barge in Return of the Jedi. Rather unnervingly, someone out there has dedicated a honorable chunk of time to putting together a site called simply Leia’s Metal Bikini, concerning… well… you know… It is apparently an inexhaustable subject.
