Adam Savage Discusses The Evolution of The Tauntaun in STAR WARS

Movie Videos Adam Savage Tested Star Wars about a year agoby Joey Paur

Here’s another great video from Tested in which Adam Savage discusses the evolution of the Tauntaun that was introduced in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. The video came along with the following note:

Adam unboxes a new package from our friends at Regal Robot: a limited set of tauntaun concept maquettes sculpted by Phil Tippet while working on Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back! Adam is deeply impressed with how Phil was able to conceptualize and sculpt such fantastical creatures with such an obvious deep love for the natural world. Which sculpt is YOUR favorite?

As Savage shows off this new addition to his collection, he discusses the creatures and how it came to be created. There’s lots of interesting insight here for all you fans!
