AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: ARTOO BRAVES THE COLD!


Concerned for his human master, Artoo Detoo scans for Luke's lifesigns in the hostile cold outside Echo Base, watched by an equally concerned Threepio.




Considering the production time lost of having Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker filming at difficult locations within their uncomfortable droid costumes for the original Star Wars in 1976, this scene for The Empire Strikes Back was much easier, safer and less costly for the actors filmed at the studio environs of Elstree Studios, back in the Summer of 1979.
