Looks like Leia’s Hoth hairstyle may have been different originally, with two long dangling plaits instead of a crown braid.

It’s the same style, she just has the braids down in these pics.

that shot of Jeremy Bulloch with the helmet off is always how I want to envision Boba Fett really looks. Very Clint Eastwood. Forget Temuera Morrison and official cannon!

Yes!

For those of us who had the comics, novel, and storybook growing up, it was baffling that it wasn’t in the movie. As the radio drama expanded on it even more, you’d think Lucas would have reinstated those scenes in 1997. Putting the Biggs’ reunion/vouching for Luke’s piloting skills scene back in only pronounces their absence.

For sure. I loved the storybook!
Someday I’ll get around to putting the beer drinking scene back in as in my signature.

I really love the deleted Luke & Biggs scenes.
It’s the only time we get to see Luke being himself, comfortably, around people he knows & likes.
And I like this Luke. The scene with Luke n’ Biggs having a beer is just great. Luke is cool & funny. Makes me sad that this personal moment isn’t in the film & we never actually get to see who Luke really was. Just him whining to his uncle.

So many of those Hoth pics look like personal photos by random Rebels. I love it!
The one of the squadron with the laser turret looks like an official squadron group photo with the Sergeant off to the left. Could be framed with a plaque: Squadron 138 - North Ridge

I’d never seen or heard of R2 washing the X-Wing! I really wish that was in the film.

It’s kind of debatable though. Even as it swings around right after the “they’re going after the medical frigate” line it’s not clear which guns are firing.

This is what I was gonna say.
The turrets are manned in RotJ. But sine the gunners were, sadly, cut from the film, you can make up whatever works best for you.

Also (another EU explanation) the quad cannons can be locked in the forward firing position and fired from the cockpit in similar fashion to the fixed guns of an x-Wing or TIE fighter.

I don’t think that’s EU, because…

In SW Han was going to shoot the lone TIE Fighter from the cockpit before entering Death Star.
