4: The text is the same as the 45 Edition, but it has more and bigger images. There is a flyer on the back of the book that reveals the back cover, which echoes the back cover of the Eps IV-VI Costco edition.

THREAD: Design of the TIE Fighter: Part II 01 This was Colin Cantwell’s prototype model of the Imperial Fighter, designed and constructed later 1974/early 1975. The sides are hexagonal, and the cockpit is a globe with fins.

16 The Dykstraflex camera was computer controlled so the moves could be precisely replayed over and over again. One of the VFX innovations of Star Wars was that a way was found to capture movement with just the right amount of blur to make the action realistic.
