BEHIND THE SCENES: "SANDPEOPLE...OR WORSE!"


Tunisia-March 1976- and a maskless Peter Diamond stands ready as a fierce Tusken Raider, about to bear down on Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker. Note the also maskless Anthony Daniels behind them as Threepio, not wearing his golden face as the scenes direction only requires a portion of his droid costume to be seen in visual frame. Threepio's fall from the surprise attack would be handled by another member of the crew, so far unidentified.


In a 1976 interview, Hamill joked that his back was raw for nearly three days from the stuntwork, and that Diamond, in his restrictive mask, accidentally kept stepping on him!
