A set of 21 photographs of Hoth-related props from the production of Irvin Kershner's Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. These rare, color-printed, behind-the-scenes Polaroids depict the construction of such recognizable props as Luke Skywalker's (Mark Hamill) electrobinoculars, an A280 Rebel blaster rifle, and a frontal view on an under-construction X-wing model miniature.

Several of the photographs are hand-annotated in ink, including one labeled "Power Trench," one labeled "Fields Electric," and a third dated "Peter Thornton 27.10." The set exhibits light bending, staining, and fading ink throughout from age and production. Dimensions: (each) 4" x 5" (10.25 cm x 12.75 cm)
