ILM CLASSIC IMAGE: "RED FIVE STANDING BY"

A great ILM STAR WARS 1976/77 storyboard of Luke Skywalker in the cockpit of his X-wing, at some point during the Death Star attack. We assume the illustration was brought to life by Joe Johnston, and based around the earlier July 1976 filming of the fighter pilot cockpit scenes at ELSTREE.

In addition to what was seen in the finished movie, it's likely that several Battle of Yavin cockpit scenes from the Alan Dean Foster 1977 novelisation were also filmed at Elstree, including Luke and Biggs making a surface attack dive, and Luke's solo attack on a key power terminal located on the space station's surface.
