AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: FALCON FIXERS!


For the moment out of danger, despite the prior Imperial bombardments, our small group of renegade heroes continue vital repair work to the Millennium Falcon, which is hiding inside the asteroid cave. 

The scenes of the Falcon crew in the hold fixing the vessel's many problems and battle damage were filmed literally upon Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher's return to London from Finse in mid-March, 1979.

Enjoy these posed publicity images and behind the scenes shots.







A rare image of Chewbacca in the alcove, from an earlier scene before departing Echo Base.






Threepio enters into a unique conversation with the Falcon's computer (which has a most appalling dialect!) during repairs, whilst Leia works in the background.
