AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: REBELS IN RETREAT!

The evacuation code retreat is sounded and the surviving Rebel soldiers emerge from their wrecked emplacements to rush to the last escape transport vessel, though still in the sights of the advancing Imperial Walkers, in this epic moment from the film.

Storyboard for the memorable scene.

The scene as filmed on location circa April 1979, with Walkers added in ILM post production.
