At the perfect natural location for filming the Hoth ice planet scenes, early filming at Finse, Norway during March 1979 sees Mark Hamill atop the partial practical Tauntaun head/neck puppet, for the lead-up to where he and his beast being brutally attacked by the Wampa.
 |
| Prior to filming, the crew at one of their two base camps readies the full-size Tauntaun in these shots. |
 |
| In the warmer climes of the base camp hut, Mark Hamill goes through his scenes with Irvin Kershner. |
 |
| To save practical time and avoid the cold weather as much as possible, Hamill rehearses the scene indoors with Kershner and the crew. |
 |
| The full-size Tauntaun is transported to the filming site. |
 |
| In the saddle, and in the saddle for Luke and the Tauntaun operator. |
 |
| A deleted moment as Luke senses worry from his Tauntaun. |
 |
| Filming Luke's close-ups as the full-size Tauntaun stands to one side at the location. |
 |
| Alternate shots of Luke and Tauntaun filmed in poor weather conditions. |
