AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: SWEEPING THE ASTEROID FIELD

 


Asteroids be damned, as Darth Vader orders his Imperial Death Fleet deeper into the densely packed and dangerous to navigate field, no matter the damage and lives lost, as the search for the hiding Millennium Falcon continues. Great ILM storyboard art, presumably by Joe Johnston. This filmed moment originally used a part variation of the rousing Imperial March, and was scored by John Williams  (recorded in London with the LSO). In post production, however, Kershner decided that the track would ultimately be unused.
