The Cantina Scene
Almost every Star Wars film after A New Hope seems to have attempted to include a cantina-style sequence. This is due to the fact that admirers fell in love with the watering hole, which was filled with aliens and strange characters. Of course, this is where we meet Han Solo and Chewbacca for the first time. For the legendary scene, George Lucas was able to recruit a large number of extras to dress up in various costumes. Also, for that sequence, John Williams wrote possibly the most unusual music in the entire series.

The Wampa Cave Set
While the Wampa cave scene in The Empire Strikes Back only lasts a few minutes in the final edit, a lot of work went into making it happen behind the scenes. Randy Thom, a sound effects artist, recorded elephant noises at the Oakland Zoo to create the Wampa’s scream. Actor Des Webb wore a big sheepskin costume and walked around on stilts at first, but his scenes were eventually cut and replaced with puppet work.
