In the cold deserts of Tunisia during March 1976, a goggle hatted George Lucas converses with golden suited Anthony Daniels as they get ready to film Threepio's lone wandering of the Dune Sea. (Note Production Designer John Barry's Krayt Dragon skeleton in the background, apparently a recycled prop from the UK filming of Disney's ONE OF OUR DINOSAURS IS MISSING.)
The demanding and problem-filled adventure that is STAR WARS filming has now begun, and no one is yet sure how well it's overall shooting, or eventual release, will fare...
One interesting thing to note is that the goggles worn by Lucas and other crewmembers seem to be the same type worn by the character Gela Yeens - one of Jabba's minions seen in the Cantina and in Docking Bay 94.
