STAR WARS: The Empire Strikes Back

by Irvin Kershner. 1980. 124 min.

The Rebels scatter after the Empire attacks their base on the ice planet Hoth. Han Solo and Princess Leia are pursued by Imperials, while Luke trains with Jedi Master Yoda. But when Luke battles Darth Vader, he learns the shocking truth of his past.

Preceded by:

7362 by Pat O’Neill. 1967. 11 min.

Experimental innovator Pat O’Neill helped design the visual effects that came to define Star Wars, like the lighting bolts that flash from Darth Vader's fingertips, among other visual magic. We present this early short film in which O’Neill layers images to create colorful and hypnotic abstractions — some of the techniques that informed his work on Star Wars.

NOTE: This film contains flashing lights which may not be suitable for photosensitive epilepsy.
