Here’s a really cool new video from Tested which features Adam Savage exploring the awesome details of the Wampa creature in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back thanks to a prop replica that was sent to him.
It’s actually pretty wild seeing the details of this Star Wars creature after all these years in a way we’ve never seen them before! There are things shown here that we would have never noticed while watching the movie.
Adam unboxes the latest prop replica from Regal Robot's Archive Collection: a recreation of the Wampa puppet used for close-up shots of the creature in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back! We learn how this puppet, designed by Phil Tippett, was created and filmed on set, and the painstaking efforts that went into recreating his gnarly visage.
I really enjoyed watching this and you can check it out for yourself below!
