Falcon Arrives

In a new shot, a computer-generated Millennium Falcon is escorted by two computer graphics cloud cars through a CG Cloud City at dusk. Previously, this sequence was covered with a far view of Cloud City which wiped to the landing of the Millennium Falcon.

In an entirely computer-generated shot, the Millennium Falcon and cloud car escorts traverse the city and approach the tower landing pad which will be revealed in the foreground by a camera move.

In the Special Edition, ILM replaced the original hand-painted flames with newly-photographed pyro elements and supplemented the original skyline painting with additional computer-generated Cloud City towers.
