Description

"Outmaneuvered" Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary cover. The Millineum Falcon attempts to run away only to find that their hyperdrive is not working. So it's up to Han's flying skills to keep from being captured by the empire.

When I first saw these covers coming out, I knew I wanted to try to pick up a number of them.

Thank you to Chris and Karl for doing such great work on these series of images and for being so great to work with!

A wicked cover showing mad love to a wicked movie matched by a wicked for sale status. Congrats on scoring this beauty!

Every time I look at this cover I can hear the sirens going off on board the Star Destroyers and the imminent grinding sound of ship hull metal against metal. Wicked!

Some of the most recognizable ships in the galaxy, great placement, visually clean and detailed. All these 40th anniversary ESB covers have been cool, thanks for sharing

It makes you feel the rumble in the theater and hear the John Williams score with the horn section blaring for this high tension escape gambit!
