What shot is this for, I wonder?
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”

Maybe an unused take of the race to the Falcon or the pad where Boba was taking off from? Meant to be a plate for a matte shot. Somewhere I’ve seen a still of a blue screen shot of Lando leading Han and the gang that was supposed to composited with a Cloud City exterior that never made it into the film.

I sometimes forget how physically and mentally grueling ESB must have been for Mark. Buried in snow, repeatedly slapped by a Wampa hand on a pole, dunked in a giant aquarium, weeks if not months on a mudhole of a set with only Artoo, a rubber Muppet and various live reptiles to act opposite of. Not to mention the Vader duel!
On top of all that, he and his wife were expecting their first child during production. That’s stressful enough without being the lead in a Star Wars film to worry about.
Plus the weight training which apparently he hated! Mark was in killer shape on Empire. I saw an interview somewhere where he said he’d assumed he’d have to up the ante for Jedi - get even bigger and wear an eyepatch! I’d have been all for it (it’s a Conan thing)…

It was used, the camera is above filming and they did have a shot from above when they were running to the Falcon with the matte painting around it. Cool image, I didn’t know it was shot outside.

A more extensively damaged version of Luke’s prosthetic hand from ROTJ, which was abandoned in favor of a simpler makeup appliance.
What is that thing? We hardly see it at all in the film. Looks like the sort of thing Kenner would make a toy out of.

It’s a Rebel artillery cannon. Earlier in the thread there are photos of Luke using a silver version against wampas.
My preferred Skywalker Saga experience:

Having Qui-Gon go against the Jedi Code, be gay, and have an affair with Darth Maul is all certainly possible, but somehow it just feels like several bridges too far for me.

Any info on the origin of that photo? That doesn’t look like Prowse in the suit. In fact, I’m not sure that’s even an ESB production suit at all. Almost looks more like a cos-player. It’s worth noting he’s missing his robe and codpiece in addition to the cape.
For reference, here’s Prowse on set:

I just found it among a bunch of BTS and promo photos so I assumed it was either Prowse a stand-in.

Though it appears to be a different take/setup where Chewie is behind, rather than in the lead.

I should have reached out to canofhumdingers and offered him a slice of the action in exchange for his silence 😉
