STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983) - Hand-Drawn Storyboards – SB 76 (1) and SB 81
Two hand-drawn storyboards from Richard Marquand's Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. This lot includes a rough-sketch storyboard drawn by Joe Johnston, using pencil on paper, and a hand-drawn revision of another shot by Industrial Light and Magic artist Dave Carson, using ink on paper. Visual-effects art director Johnston would sometimes sketch quick storyboards to convey his ideas for a sequence, then pass them on for other ILM staff to complete a more detailed version, which could then be used by the production.

Johnston's pencil sketch is labeled 'SB 81' (SB standing for space battle) and shows a Y-wing starfighter diving alongside an Imperial Star Destroyer, with two TIE fighters in pursuit. Carson's revised illustration is labeled 'SB 76 (1)' and provides a view from the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon racing down an Imperial trench. The revised illustration is fleshed out with vivid details and coloured with ink and markers. The set remains in very fine condition. Dimensions (each): 23 cm x 30 cm (9'' x 12'')
