ILM BEHIND THE SCENES: ONE STEP AT A TIME!

Now resided at the bigger and better production facilities of ILM's San Francisco base, with a new and permanent area for the always fascinating stop motion animation process, Phil Tippett and Jon Berg work slowly and diligently on the epic snow battle involving the AT-AT Walkers on the ice planet Hoth, in this terrific behind the scenes shot from The Empire Strikes Back, taken during late 1979.

This previously unseen image is part of an incredible compilation of rare materials (photos/documents/conceptual art) to be savoured within Taschen Book's eagerly awaited and supremely lavish all-new 600+ page hardcover The Star Wars Archives: 1977- 1983, available next month, that gloriously focuses on the making of the beloved Classic Trilogy of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, collated and written by Paul Duncan.
