Note other lots in the auction may close on June 30th or July 1st. Roger Christian's third draft script from the production of Richard Marquand's Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Christian used this script to direct footage for the Ewok village scenes, and won the Academy Award for Best Art Direction for his work on A New Hope. The script's title page bears the original working title "Revenge of the Jedi" and "To Roger Christian, 2nd Unit Director," written in blue ink. Dated December 1, 1981, the script consists of 110 pages, with inserted yellow revision pages. There are several handwritten annotations relating to the second unit camera team, and each page displays two red security stamps, reading "ROJ +060+ DEC81." The script is in good overall condition, with minor creasing, folded corners and small tears. Examples of directors' scripts from the original trilogy have rarely come to market, and the lot comes with a letter of authenticity from Christian. Dimensions: 12.5" x 9.5" x 1.5" (32 cm x 24 cm x 4 cm) Estimate: $6,000 - 8,000
