Luke Skywalker fights back in this great storyboard art by Joe Johnston.
|
Trying to further delay the Imperial Walkers advance, Luke Skywalker rushes to the underbelly of the nearest Walker and shoots himself up to it with his cable gun, in a scene achieved with Mark Hamill in live-action footage filmed in Norway, and a puppet created and filmed ascending by ILM, alongside further animation handled by Peter Kuran and his his rotoscope animation team for a wide shot during the continuing battle.
Though footage had been shot of Luke running in the snow after the Walker on location, additional footage was shot of him running on a treadmill at Elstree. The footage wasn't used. Mark Hamill recalled to Questor magazine in 1980:
"There you are, running on a treadmill against a blue screen. They don't call me Mark Hamster for nothing. I'm running in full snow gear; goggles, helmet and a gun. Running on a treadmill is very hard. Usually, you have a guard rail that you can grasp as they increase the speed. Mind you, this shot is now out of the picture, it didn't look right. But I spent the better part of a day running on this bloody treadmill. They say 'we're going to take it up to speed two, up to three, up to four. But you can't look down. You're running and you're supposed to look up to see the giant walking machines. I took one misstep, and my foot came down on a stationary side of the treadmill; I went flying off, through three layers of polystyrene and landed with my feet, head and arms face up in a box."

Dennis Muren has fun with the model Luke, which itself is holding a Kenner action figure of... itself!
