ABOUT THE ARTWORK: This photostat storyboard was used during the production of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. Please note the two black "ILMSB141208" stamps and white "HS5" sticker, as well as the 3-ring binder peg holes along the upper margin of this piece. Despite the artist credit initial being printed as "R," this storyboard was attributed to Nilo Rodis-Jamero in the official compilation book, Star Wars Storyboards: The Original Trilogy by J.W. Rinzler. (His storyboards are typically denoted by the initial "N.") Rodis-Jamero was the assistant art director of visual effects for Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back and costume designer for Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi.

This rare piece comes from Paul Huston's bound collection of storyboard prints. Huston, who served as Industrial Light & Magic (ILM)'s chief model maker during production, provided and maintained storyboards to help develop the necessary model miniatures needed for the film's vast intergalactic sets. He has now worked with Lucasfilm for over 40 years, collaborating on eight Star Wars films and one animated television series.
