By the way, to come back to the speculated about additional AT-AT scene, is it known if a set for the compartment for the stormtroopers inside the walker was ever built for ESB?
Can’t remember ever reading anything about it, but if they built it, i’d guess they would have used it at least for some test sequences.
I have no idea what scene you’re talking about, so I’m gonna say no to all that.
The article i mentioned in my first post, pretended that a scene would exist with Luke opening up an AT-AT from below with his lightsaber, similar to the existing scene in ESB where Luke uses this trick to bring explosives inside the walker to stop it with the detonation, enters it to fight with the stormtroopers inside.
Could imagine that during the production someone may have had this idea and shoot some test scenes for this, before abandoning the concept.
