AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: LUKE vs WAMPA!


Now ready to face his snow monster opponent, Luke Skywalker uses his retrieved lightsaber to deliver a defensive blow to the Wampa advancing on him, severing its arm then making a swift exit from the cave and into even worse dangers of a more natural inhospitable kind.

The Wampa (Des Webb) reaches out to attack Luke.

Filming the Wampa arm decapitation sequence.

Luke gets ready to attack the beast!

An additional scene of Luke with an alternate Wampa masked creature was shot and filmed:

Terry Richards played the Wampa (with a different mask) in an unused insert scene shot between batches of Wampa cave filming.
