One scene that was revised to better meet Lucas' expectations was the Tatooine Dunes sequence in Star Wars. It involves a detachment of stormtroopers searching for two missing droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, who presumably have top-secret plans of the Death Star battle station. Lucas wanted an element of surprise, so he had the troopers ride giant lumbering beasts called dewbacks instead of more advanced machinery. Due to budgetary and technical limitations, the original dewbacks were little more than large, immovable rubber puppets. This five-part documentary, which will be released one episode per week over a five-week period, shows how the dewbacks became the seemingly living, breathing creatures in the Star Wars Special Edition.
