BEHIND THE SCENES: CARBON CONFLICT!


The classic duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader (played by Bob Anderson, wearing a special mask that gave more on-set visibility) intensifies within the Carbon Freezing chamber of Bespin, the Dark Lord of the Sith taunting the young Jedi-to-be to violence, testing his abilities and his potential to join the Dark Side. Some of the filmed one-handed duelling aspects of the scene, plus several extra lines of dialogue between the two combatants, never made the final cut.

On a rare trip to the UK, Lucas gives some lightsaber swordplay advice to Mark Hamill and Stunt Coordintaor Peter Diamond.
