AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: THREEPIO AT BESPIN...


Put out that he receives less the warm reception from a distracted Lando Calrissian than was given to his human masters, See-Threepio is nonetheless impressed by the new colony that they've arrived in...

Clowning around, but Anthony Daniels still has to remind cast and crew that there is a person inside Threepio.

With the ever-fun Carrie Fisher.



Behind the scenes, Anthony Daniels was worried that Threepio was being seen as too much of an irritant in the lead-up to the film's finale as Irvin Kershner added him to scenes that worked well in generating humour but ultimately left the character with very little to do. Fortunately, the happy presence of Carrie Fisher would be a bonus during the long hours of filming.

There's little time for small talk with near android-like Lobot (John Hollis). A brief deleted scene or most likely a specially posed image on set?

Discussing droid motivations with Irvin Kershner.

Catching-up with the others on the landing platform.
