AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: LET ME IN!


No longer willing to stay and watch over the camp, a lonely Artoo, caught in a rain deluge, has clearly used his scanners to discover Yoda's hut, in a scene that was partially cut for time and pace reasons. 


Preparing for filming. Note the covered remote controlled Artoo.


Artoo skiddles towards Yoda's home whilst the rains pour down.

Both types of Artoo were used for this scene: the remote control three-legged unit, and Kenny Baker in the shell looking through the window, helped off camera into position by a stage hand. 

Artoo is unable to gain inside access to Yoda's hut.


Unused footage of Artoo by the ground entrance to Yoda's hut.



Filming Artoo looking into the separate hut interior window which is raised on a scaffold for puppeteer work.
