'STAR WARS' AT 40: DESCENT TO THE AXIS!

Above the Death Star, diversionary X-wing fighters peel off and dive towards the space station's surface, in this great imagery that was likely unused/rejected test optical composite shots later used as promotional imagery. In the completed film, the fighters descend like this but not with the Death Star background.
