More Wampa footage in ESB

Is it true that the Wampa is hiding out at the hoth base while Han and Leia are arguing? I read this in a post recently with deleted scenes in Esb. Any help would be great. Thanks.

 

Never heard of that before. The only time I've seen Wampas in Echo Base is in the SotE game.

 

Thank you! You know a lot for a young jedi! Was the Wampa attacking originally at Echo base? Thanks!

 

A scene of the Rebels fighting the Wampa in Echo Base made it into the ESB comic adaption. IIRC they also explain what 21-B is doing to the taun taun in the novelization.


Wampa Wampa Wampa!!!

 

Here's one site (of many) that have some info about it.

Also remember after Han shoots the probe droid Leia says it might have been one of those creatures so apparently they'd been having probs with them.

 

Hmmm, interesting, I was not aware that a wampa was originally shot to be in the base, but was later deleted. I guess that SOTE picked up on that deleted scene when they added wampas in Echo base.

 

I'm sure I also remember in the kids version of "The Empire Strikes Back Storybook" that there was a wampa in there...

I also SWEAR that I remember Luke wearing something like a Bacta Mask for part of the scene when he is in the MedBay, although I'm not sure if it was the comic or one of the picture books or what, but I am sure he had one on at one point.

 

That bit about the bacta mask is true. I think you can see it in the original theatrical trailer for ESB. I'm sure you can find it on the net somewhere.

 

I remember Luke and his bacta mask from seeing it in the theater. After many years of watching it on VHS, that parts not in it, I thought my memory was off and I was nuts until I saw info on it recently.

 

I've also heard that door 3PO stops and looks at warily when he, Han, and Leia were fleeing the base was supposed to be a room where the wampas were being kept. The sequence that appeared in early trailers that showed 3PO pulling a warning sign down from a door to trick Imperials into going in may have been set in front of the same door.

 

StarWarz.com has a lot of info on cut scenes. Go here for the ESB section.

One of the links above shows pictures from this and describes it in detail.

 

"Next, 2-1B is attending to a slain Tauntaun"

LoL, if it's slain then what could he possibly be doing to attend to it?

 

^^
Marinating it, what else?

 

Yum, Won Ton Tauntaun

 

Here's some More Wampa footage

 

I actually remember seeing the above mentioned scenes in a copy of ESB when I was a little kid. I remember it because I always wondered why I didn't ever see it in any of the other copies of ESB I saw after that. It might have been the original VHS from when they first released the movies on VHS. I also remember a scene in RotJ where Luke uses the Force to jump up while in the Rancor pit and grab the grate that is on the floor in Jabba's Throne Room. Then Ree Yees and some other aliens stomp on his fingers until he lets go. I have seen this intercut with the rest of RotJ, but I have never seen it since that one viewing a long, long time ago.

The Cloner



Actually, now that I think about it, it could have been on the "From Star Wars to Jedi" VHS that I saw once or twice but I could swear I saw those scenes intercut with the rest of the movie like they had always existed.
