Black Angel is a 1980 British short fantasy film that was shown before the release in cinemas of The Empire Strikes Back in certain locales. It was the directorial debut of Star Wars art director Roger Christian. The film negative was thought to be lost until it was rediscovered in December 2011. In June 2015, it was announced that Christian was working on a feature film adaptation of Black Angel which would be partly funded through crowd-funding site Indiegogo.

Production

The film was shot at Eilean Donan in Scotland in late 1979. The budget of £25,000 was given to Roger Christian by an Eady Scheme fund from the British government.

According to Christian, the step-printing technique (in which frames are duplicated to slow action) he employed for a fight sequence influenced George Lucas to include the same method in a scene of The Empire Strikes Back.
