The Empire Strikes Back VFX Story Board Shot M49
Ready, aim, fire. Rebel troops — some on standby, one on the trigger, and another playing lookout — level oncoming opposition forces using a large, dish-like ray gun in this storyboard shot hand-drafted for the film's Visual FX department. This one-of-a-kind piece comes from the personal collection of chief miniature model maker Lorne Peterson, who played a key role in bringing Star Wars action scenes to the silver screen.
