On a specially arranged day handled by the film's publicity department, Mark Hamill and Dave Prowse pose for lightsaber choreography images at Elstree Studios in advance promotion for Empire, though Bob Anderson will primarily handle the main requirement of fighting within the Darth Vader costume through the summer months of 1979. Prowse had previously done the entre lightsaber duel with Sir Alec Guinness on the original film in 1976, but this new duel, also arranged by Stunt Coordinator Peter Diamond, is more ambitious, more complex and potentially dangerous to the actor, hence the need for a more experienced sword veteran like Anderson taking his place.
