Star Wars (1977)

An original 1977 20th Century-Fox Black and White Publicity Still, unframed.

Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher as Luke and Leia swing across the bottomless chasm of the Death Star, stormtroopers firing from above, in one of the most famous action moments of the film.

Lucas wanted it to feel like an old Saturday-morning serial, and Hamill and Fisher did the swing themselves, with Leia stealing a kiss for luck before they jump. It was filmed on the soundstages at Elstree Studios outside London, and audiences have been cheering it ever since. Issued to the press on the film's release, this still captures the moment Star Wars turned swashbuckler.
