I was looking at STARWARS.COM today, who are doing an intriguing new series of articles about what was going on in the month's leading up to the films May 25th 1977 release. Intriguingly, in their list of work being done by ILM (and I assume by the various other optical effects companies helping them) there is a listing for an image graphic for a Tusken Raider binocular-I'm assuming this a binocular or rifle scope of some kind thats on the gun that one of the Raider ceatures aims at Luke Skywalker and Threepio when they are searching the Jundland wastes for Artoo?
Though I was previously aware of the aborted Landspeeder dashboard radar-like graphic that had previously been shown in the ART OF STAR WARS book, I wasn't aware of this new little piece of information at all? Does anyone out there have any more info? Does a picture of the graphic exist, or will it be one of the tasty morsels to be revealed in the upcoming J.W.Rinzler book?
Why was it not used in the end film?
Intriguing stuff, eh?
Thirty years on and there is still so much to learn...
