Black Knight: before Empire Strikes Back

Black Angel was a short film which ran BEFORE Empire Strikes Back in its original theatrical release; and many considered this a holy grail of movies to find.  Lost by almost everyone (even the Lucasfilm archives), but it has resurfaced.

If you are curious of this tale of a film about a dying knight, the whole interview is very interesting.  The same goes for anyone who enjoys Star Wars-related trivia for the sake of learning something new; or stumping an aficionado.
