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 "HS7" 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 visual effects chief model maker during production, provided and maintained storyboards to help develop the necessary model miniatures needed for the film's vast intergalactic sets.
