CLASSIC IMAGE: BATTLE PREPARATIONS!


On the superb Death Star hangar bay set at Elstree Studios of Summer 1976, the principal stuntmen of the original Star Wars (Peter Diamond, Colin Skeaping and Reg Harding, plus two others uncredited) get ready for their upcoming action scene against the escaping Rebels. Note the mattress in the chasm ready for Diamond to later fall on. A terrific camera angle and another look at the partially built, highly-detailed Millennium Falcon prop.

The remote controlled Artoo prop stands inert on the set.

A great filmed angle of the Falcon, not used in the finished cut.
