AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: FRIENDS REUNITED...


The Rebel Fleet survivors have regrouped at the Outer Rim (now in a sector called 'Wild Space', for the Expanded Universe). Amidst this insecure time of pause comes the chance for our heroes to recover from the shock and revelations of their conflict against the Empire, whilst others prepare their first steps in the mission to rescue Han Solo from the clutches of Jabba the Hutt.

A lovely composite shot above, presumably supervised by Terry Chostner at ILM, showing the small group of rebel ships, including several not fully seen in the film's final cut.


Smaller Rebel vessels lined up together for filming on the ILM stage.

Ken Ralston and colleague readying the models.
