AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: A CRUSHING ESCAPE!


Freeing himself from the cockpit of his crashed Snowspeeder, Luke Skywalker retrieves some necessary equipment and leaps to the snowy floor just in time, as the massive Imperial Walker brings its crushing foot down, in an exciting scene filmed against blue screen at Elstree Studios, London during near Fall 1979, so as to better match with the eventual integrated ILM effects footage.

Several shots showing the UK built damaged Snowspeeder vehicle sent to Norway for filming.
