CT Classic Trilogy Rare and Behind the Scenes pics and footage

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardington_Airfield

 

This is the first time I noticed that when the old "pirate ship" model became the Rebel Blockade Runner, its round sensor dish was removed (probably cannibalized for the new Millennium Falcon model along with the cockpit) and replaced by a dish with rectangular shape. Like the one on the Falcon in TFA.

 

Love the OT behind the scenes pics. Keep em coming.

 

Pulled a few more from the Card Trader app:
(Apologies if any of these have already been posted here -- my memory isn't the greatest!)

 

Where is that from?

 

Pretty sure it's from Mythbusters.

 

Carrie looks much skinnier in ROTJ than ESB and ANH.

 

when Luke walks through that tunnel I can hear the waaaaaaaaaaaaa. ESB had some great sound design.

 

Baby fat - she was only 19-years-old when she started.
Weight loss contributed, and maturation into a young woman, resulted in a (noticeably) thinner and more angular face.
She had blossomed from a slightly pudgy teenager into a beautiful young woman by Return of the Jedi.

 

Also she was A) told to lose the proverbial ten pounds in order to wear the metal bikini, and B) doing cocaine and other drugs in heavy doses.

 

I thought she was asked to lose weight for STAR WARS, but for JEDI, went (voluntarily) to the gym to get fit when she discovered she would be wearing the metal bikini?

 

From the card back: "Stuart Freeborn was a master makeup artist whose contributions to the original Star Wars Trilogy cannot be measured. Perhaps Freeborn's best-known creation is Yoda, but here the artist poses with another of his works, the fearsome wampa."

 

Bellbottoms!

 

Which Harrison isn't wearing. That man has style.

 

is it just me or does it take a second when viewing behind the scenes pictures of SW to realize that it's not actually real?

 

^Just put down the Ring, Luke.
