AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: SWAMP SPLASHDOWN!


Not quite the soft landing on Dagobah he'd hoped for, Luke Skywalker, atop his swamp lake landed X-wing fighter, attempts to maneuver the vehicle nearer the shore with some kind of pole, as Artoo already makes a safe beachhead (unlike the droid's film version fate), in this great Ralph McQuarrie production painting.

Concept ideas for the sequence by McQuarrie.

The production painting rough takes form.
