DESCRIPTION:
The Battle of Hoth is over… or is it? The captured Rebel forces break free and launch a counter-attack.
DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
“There is a prison break scene in Kurosawa’s Hidden Fortress – let’s use that as a template for scale and energy. There needs to be a diversion that happens and allows the Rebel fleet to gain some distance. Maybe some wild animals running around too!”
REFERENCE
Watch Kurosawa’s Hidden Fortress and pay particular attention to the slave uprising/prison break scene at the 11:00 minute mark of the movie.
