Particularly the bit from 2:20?

Yeah it's great.

They did a great job building that death star hangar set, the scale is huge. The in-camera sfx they used for this film is a million times better than any CGI.

That massive open elevator shaft looks dangerous as hell though!

It does, robot chicken should've done a sketch of some imperial troops falling off it.

It's an exciting sequence. We also get to see the rare Space Troopers (same effects guy dressed up as a Stormtrooper with an oxygen tank) and duplicated for the shot. Then we see that massive Elstree space dressed up as the DS interior and so many Stormtroopers. You can see the existing black shiny floor which is seen in other movies which have used this space. You wonder... how are our heroes gonna get out of this???
