AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: TAKING HIS BOUNTY!


The slightest sound heard on his receptors can mean potential conflict for Boba Fett, unwilling to let his ultra-valuable prize in the carbon frozen Han Solo be taken away from him whilst making his way to Slave 1, and departure to Tatooine, in this super close-up image of the character from The Empire Strikes Back.


Amazingly, this brief image of the carbonite Han Solo made its way to an early teaser trailer but was scarcely picked up by fans at the time.




The two escorting Bespin guards would be played by regular stand-in from the original Star Wars, Alan Harris, and Quentin Pierre, fresh from his background role as a regular security guard for Space:1999. Pierre was recommended to the film by second unit director David Tomblin, who had worked with him as a writer/director on that popular British TV sci-fi series (Harris had also appeared as a Moonbase Alpha technician from time to time).
