The sequences depicted include the opening chase, the Millennium Falcon boarding the Death Star, and The Battle of Yavin. As the production team was then smaller, these storyboards are rarer and more limited than those created later in production. Each features a single image with information, such as shot numbers, background, frame count and scene description, in the margins,. The binder is labeled "Storyboards" and "Matte" on front with "Star Wars Story Boards" and "Lorne", for Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) model maker Lorne Peterson, on the spine. It exhibits signs of use and wear throughout, including some discoloration on the paper, but remains in excellent overall condition.
