AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: PRISONER OF THE EMPIRE!


Captured by Imperial forces, Han Solo awaits his fate inside the force fielded Bespin Cloud City holding cell, whilst Boba Fett, Darth Vader and Lando Calrissian confer, in this highly detailed and elegant production painting art from Ralph McQuarrie that was never used for the final set to have been created at Elstree Studios for the dramatic scene, presumably for cost and set space availability. A smaller set that could be used for both the torture and prison rooms would ultimately be created by Norman Reynolds.
