 During the initial theatrical run in Europe and Australia, the short film "Black Angel" by "Star Wars" art director Roger Christian was shown before the feature.Prior to its opening crawl, the film began in a similar way to the original "Star Wars" film with a presentation of both the "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." text and with the "Star Wars" logo receding into a starscape background.The crawl then appeared with the plain text headings ""Episode V"" and ""The Empire Strikes Back"".
