A wondrous city in the clouds provides a time for unique safety and refuge from the Imperials for Princess Leia Organa, who is given a unique outdoor tour by Baron Lando Kadar in this great conceptual painting by Ralph McQuarrie. Even from this painting we get the impression that Lando is certainly 'the old smoothie' referenced by Han Solo.
McQuarrie enjoyed working on the conceptual side of The Empire Strikes Back as much as he did on the original Star Wars, especially in developing the look and style of the Cloud City realm.
