"George [Lucas] chose the last take in both shoots. I had many fans ask me why I looked at camera. I didn't. I was told to span as far round to cam as I could. If you could see my eyes they are cranked to screen right," notes Mark Austin, who portrayed Boba Fett in this scene, which was initially filmed November 4, 1994
