General Information
- Worn by Chewbacca during the Carbon Freeze and Bespin escape scenes.
- The original backpack used wires attached to Peter Mayhew's fingers to allow him to turn the head.
- Close-ups were done with Anthony Daniels in the suit, allowing more movement.
- After strangling Lando, Chewie and Threepio are seen in a full shot (precluding Anthony Daniels being in the suit) and the arm moves.
Included Parts
- Threepio's Torso, head, neck, right arm, and left shoulder bell are all connected and assembled.
- Next to Threepio's left side (behind Chewie's right shoulder), Threepio's lower left leg (calf and foot) are stuffed, upside down, inside his left thigh, which is right side up.
- Threepio's detached left arm is stuffed in his right thigh piece. This sits next to the right side of Threepio's body (behind Chewie's left shoulder). The hand is up.
- Threepio's right foot dangles freely and unattached on the bottom right side of the sack (behind Chewie's left side).
- It does not appear that Threepio's pelvis/shorts or his right calf is present in the sack.
