It still amazes me that they made action figures based on a scene that hit the cutting room floor.
I was always puzzled by the shot of Luke used for the cardback for the RotJ Luke–he was in Jabba’s palace pointing a blaster at the camera. I was always like…but that never happened.
Only much later did I notice in the film where that shot was cut from. You’ve got Luke summoning a blaster, then cut straight to him getting apprehended by guards who are grabbing his arm, which is almost fully extended with blaster.
The shot looked cool, so they used it for the figure card, but frankly it probably didn’t make sense in the film. (What was Luke supposed to be waiting for? Jabba to shoot first?)
Anyway, I still don’t know where they could have had the shot of Snaggletooth in prison that they used for his cardback…
Poor Snaggletooth…
