| Out from the shadows, Princess Leia fights back! |
Custodian of the stolen plans that will restore freedom to the galaxy, Rebel hero Princess Leia Organa fights a hopeless situation as her diplomatic vessel is now boarded by Imperial forces. Thankfully, a little astro droid is at hand to continue her vital mission imperative, during the now eternally classic beginning to the original
Star Wars of 1977...
This sequence was part of a busy filming period at the London Elstree Studios, on what was called the 'Rebel Starfighter' interior in the call sheets, located on Stage 9, during the 9th and 12th July, 1976. The deep core set seen here cleverly re-used existing props prior used for the
Death Star interiors, as well as floor plating from the
Millennium Falcon hold interior.

| Importantly needing a close-up of Leia transferring the Death Star schematics data card into Artoo, ILM production assistant Penny McCarthy became Carrie Fisher/Leia's hand double for a later shot insert. |
