Star Wars Wednesday - ESB Poster Magazine Issue #4

Sadly this is the last of the Empire Strikes Back post magazines that I have in my digital stash. But the good new is I have a few Return of the Jedi ones, so those will start next week.

Issue 4 has a bit of a twist for its poster. It's not either of the cover images.

Although I wasn't into Starlog at such a young age, I was always fascinated by behind the scenes and special effects things that showed how they make movie magic.

In this spread, you get a retelling of some of the Battle of Hoth and a little edu-ma-cation about asteroids. Space was something else I was really into as a kid.

And here's your unexpected poster.
Like Issue #3, this is a great shot that you don't see too often.

    1. Always happy to share bits of Star Wars history. I don't remember where I got the scans originally.
