AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: ALAS, POOR THREEPIO...


In a true 'Hamlet considers Yoric' moment, Chewbacca looks towards the debris that was once their loyal if irritating protocol droid and decides to put Threepio back together, if only the wrong way round at first! One of the most sadly poignant but also charming scenes to showcase Peter Mayhew's performance as Chewbacca during The Empire Strikes Back,

Irvin Kershner works with Peter Mayhew on the scene.


Anthony Daniels provides the voice of the near destroyed Threepio from the floor speaking into a microphone set-up. 

Peter Suschitzky works on the scene's filming as Anthony Daniels (bottom right) rehearse works the C-3PO droid puppet.
