Riding The Tauntaun

The Tauntaun, which first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back, is one of the many beautiful animals that are unique to the Star Wars world. Stop-motion animation and puppetry were used by Lucasfilm to create the horse-like creature. While this rare photo depicts the original trio posing with the “beast,” only Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford were actually present for the iconic scene from the 1980 film’s premiere.

C-3PO delivered the first line of the Star Wars film franchise. Since then, Anthony Daniels has played the protocol droid, and he is the only actor to have featured in every Star Wars film. Daniels only tested on the iconic costume a day before shooting A New Hope, and he’s had trouble wearing it ever since. Mark Hamill is seen in this photo attempting to assist Daniels in sipping a drink with a draw.
