AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: EVADING THE IMPERIAL STARFLEET!

Specially created effects composite image by ILM, used for theatrical release/merchandise publicity.


Luke and Artoo may have escaped Hoth relatively easy, now heading for the mysterious Dagobah, but things are harder for Han Solo and company. They've barely shaken off one set of Imperial enemies on the surface, now the crew of the Millennium Falcon face further, bigger threats in space, encountering the Star Destroyer blockade en force, all vessels of which are under orders from Darth Vader to capture the Falcon at all costs. Han Solo and Chewbacca must use all the piloting skills and tricks at their disposal to avoid such a fate.

The chase begins, as seen in this ILM storyboard by Joe Johnston.


The Falcon makes a fast descent that sends the Star Destroyers into chaos, as seen in this ILM storyboard.


A dizzyingly effective storyboard as the TIE fighters continue pursuit.
