What happens

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. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
