This 200 footer is a fun, fast moving 8 minutes. It starts with Vader realizing the rebels are on Hoth, then cuts to the battle with the At-At Walkers. Leia, Han, Chewbacca and C-3PO escape in the Falcon and when the hyperdrive fails, they head into an asteroid field. The pursuing ships are destroyed and Han pilots the ship into a cave. The reel ends with Leia saying "I hope you know what you're doing."

Ken released this in a nice box with a soundtrack cassette, similar to the earlier 200' Alien. Unlike that one, this print is sound striped with a mono soundtrack. The blues are still strong on my print, but there is a shift to the Dark Side....I mean red side....of the spectrum.

Many thanks for that review Doug!

It looks like that last section of the reel (asteroid), suffers from the same bad negative problem, which was cured for the last releases on LPP stock (as, I forget his names, sorry, that fellowws screens shots show).
