It's a very busy day within the Millennium Falcon hold set at Elstree Studios, circa Summer 1979, as droids Threepio and Artoo are reunited under the most difficult and emotional circumstance - the former recovering both mentally and physically from the ordeals and tribulations of the Imperial difficulties at Bespin, the latter having the job of finally putting his 'Golden Rod' friend firmly back in one piece!
With Mark Hamill in the distance sitting down by the holo chess table talking to First Assistant Director David Tomblin, this is a rare behind the scenes shot of Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker together during The Empire Strikes Back's long and often arduous filming.
Anthony Daniels will be reminiscing/revealing his incredible cinematic life story playing Threepio, as well as what it's ultimately like being, and being inside, such an important pop culture favourite of such a unique franchise as Star Wars - for over four decades now - in his upcoming perspective book, the eagerly-awaited I am C-3PO - The Inside Story. A witty and fascinating read surely awaits, available in the UK October 31st, published by DK Books.
