Hamill's legs would be supported over a scaffold prop, watched over by on set resident stuntmen Colin Skeaping and Peter Diamond, whilst a Kenny Baker-less Artoo shell, with a remote control operated dome, would be lifted into the air, followed by a lightweight version dropped when Luke accidently releases his Force power.
