While the future of Star Wars and Indiana Jones looks bright and busy, the past is always going to hold a special place in the hearts of fans, especially those young enough at the time (and old enough now!) to remember reading about their heroes in magazines like Look-In, or scouring shows like Magpie or Clapperboard for any info that might pop up. Our pal Rob Wainfur over at The Bearded Trio (if you’ve not bookmarked it yet do so, you won’t regret it) posted this selection of images from behind the scenes on The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Return of the Jedi.

Check them out and prepare to leap back to a time when flares were still cool, Pot Noodles were still a novelty and a ten penny mix could keep you chewing all afternoon.

First off, The Empire Strikes Back.

Next, Raiders of the Lost Ark.

And finally, Return of the Jedi.
