I’m surprised this thread doesn’t see more action that it does.
 

On the official Star Wars site there is a section for ‘Empire Strikes Back at 40’ - celebrating the film’s 40th anniversary:-

https://www.starwars.com/empire-40th

In the ‘Gallery’ section is an article titled ‘The Empire Strikes Back Story Gallery’…

which features images not from 40 years ago - from the original version of the film - but shots from the later Special Edition releases.

Of course, there is no mention of which image is from which release - and so anyone who doesn’t know better would assume they were all from the Empire Strikes Back… 40 years ago.
 

(I can’t link to the ‘The Empire Strikes Back Story Gallery’ article, sorry. It is there - along with a couple of other ESB galleries.)
