AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: BLOCKADE TRAPPERS!

Second Assistant Cameraman Madelyn Most with the clapperboard for the scene.

Their 'first catch of the day' soon turns out to be nothing of the kind for Imperial Captain Lennox and his cronies on the Blockade Star Destroyer Tyrant, as their vessel is soon temporarily crippled by an ion Cannon, allowing Rebel ships to escape. A scene filmed during May, 1979 for The Empire Strikes Back, with actors Oliver Maguire and John Dicks.

Oliver Maguire as an Imperial Lieutenant, and John Dicks as Captain Lennox.

Gary Kurtz confers with the actors between takes.
