STAR WARS: EPISODE VI - RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983) - Hand-Drawn Ralph McQuarrie Portfolio Battle of Endor Thumbnail Sketches - Battle of Endor thumbnail sketches hand-drawn by concept artist Ralph McQuarrie for his Return of the Jedi Portfolio, a set of production illustration art prints published in conjunction with Richard Marquand's Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. In the film, the Rebels faced off against the Galactic Empire on the forest moon of Endor.

McQuarrie created these thumbnails of AT-ATs roaming the forest and an Ewok trebuchet immediately after production as concept sketches for the final portfolio artwork. Rendered in graphite on paper, they are also featured on page 267 of the Abrams publication Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie. The paper exhibits some smudging. Dimensions: 11.5" x 14.5" (29.25 cm x 37 cm)
