In a fight to the death he confronts the Black Angel, a mysterious figure, an angel of death.

Black Angel
Are you kidding me?!?! Whoever gave this movie any stars was playing a cruel joke on all the rest of us.
had to buy it, wish I hadn't
I had to see this as it was commissioned to be the short accompanying “Star Wars.” It’s hard to believe this was in any way associated with one of my all time favorite movies. There is a reason this movie was lost and not missed for decades. It is very slow and while the story had potential, this film is lacking.
Great Short!
This was written, directed, and produced by the stud who aged the galaxy in Star Wars! This aged short has little to do with Han Solo, but it does grab a piece of my heart. I feel it stands alone as a short film, but when you tell me the Lucas comissioned it to be put before Empire, I totally get it. I found it a bit slow, but with the limited resourses the Christian had, I'm impressed he didn't rush things.
