Thanks for that update adywan. Glad to hear that all is not yet lost on the new Wampa footage front, and will remain cautiously hopeful that things can pan out for the ‘cave’ shot replacements eventually.

From what we’ve seen, your version definately makes for a good match with the ‘roaring’ puppet design overall - and it’s good to know that one of it’s horn tips will be broken off too. The nose and visible face-parts of the ‘roaring’ puppet Wampa seem to have a roughened, yellowish finish with darkened bags under the eyes, and a touch of that would help to give your version a very close resemblance indeed, if your tests work out okay.

I’m also really pleased to see that you’re intending to include the additional shot of the Wampa’s arm (when Luke cuts himself down), as that was an SE addition I especially liked - and I’m hopeful that you were able to give it’s black ‘claw pads’ a more fleshy colouration in the end, like the original prop claw had.

Good luck, and kudos to your wife for her efforts and continued tolerations! 😃
