Very nice - where did you pick it up?

Got it from RS 8 years ago, Todd C got a large portfolio and after he took what he wanted he sold on the rest. Been in contact with a guy called Leo Kraan who is the author of starwarsstoryboards.com.

He has verified the authenticity of it and will shortly be adding mine to his website as owner. I have found out loads of information after a good few emails back and forth with Leo. Essentially it seems an uncredited artist/worker took these home during the making of ESB and thus these went to the public. ROTJ the security was a lot tighter and all orginal artwork was stamped and placed in a vault, this is why you will only see ESB and SW original artwork and not ROTJ.

The only ROTJ storyboards which are out are production art, the ones which have a spreadsheet like effect top or bottom. These were photocopys of the original artwork and handed round to various departments working on the film at the time.

Cheers
