AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: ARRIVAL AT BESPIN!


It's been a long and slow journey but the Millennium Falcon has finally made it to Bespin, though its weary crew are soon once more in trouble, this time from Twin Pod Cloud Cars on patrol of the skies near Cloud City. The slight misunderstanding of their presence is soon worked out, however, and clearance is given for the smuggling vessel to land.





Sound Design veteran Ben Burtt was the voice of the Cloud Car pilot sparring with Han Solo, whilst the gorgeous Bespin cloud shots at varying stages of light and dark were captured by UK effects veteran Brian Johnston, a keen photographer who'd take the plate shots from a hired plane.
