The climax to the original trilogy sees our heroes reunited,Anakin redeemed and the death and fall of both the Emperor and the Empire STAR WARS:EPISODE VI:RETURN OF THE JEDI. With the fall of the Empire we see a brother and sister finally reunited,Han and Leia come together and Luke redeems his father through his selfless act of love and sacrifice which brings Anakin back from the shadows of the dark side to destroy his master.The reveal scene is particularly affecting and doubtless remains as powerful now as ever.
PRODUCTION-MADE PYROTECHNIC Y-WING FIGHTER
This has now ben updated with the custom display case that I have had made for it by the great services of Creative Laser Solutions.The piece is being kept in shape by a system of acrylic stands so it did not have to be adhesively connected as I felt the piece should not be altered from it's production condition.Serving as a backdrop and emphasis is an original ROTJ ILM storyboard featuring a Y-Wing being chased down by a TIE over a Mon Cal Star Cruiser.The screen capture above is the sequence depicted in the backdrop storyboard.A wonderful display.Created by the chief model-maker for the film Ease Oweyoung this is a pyrotechnic Y-Wing fighter which was unfinished and saved from certain doom!The main fuselage of the fighter is hollow to allow for placement of the SFX pyro charges and there are markings on both the hull and fuselage to map out where the charges were to be placed.Though incomplete this is a very rare piece and few examples of this kind of model are to be found.The undoubted centerpiece of my collection.A magnificent piece of Star Wars history and I am honoured to have it.
PRODUCTION-MADE TIE INTERCEPTOR WINGS
These are two production-made pyro miniature TIE interceptor wings.TIE pieces are very hard to come by and the TIE interceptor is a great ship to have pieces from.iconic scene in which the interceptors and TIEs swarm the Falcon in the Death Star battle is hugely memorable.
This is a set of production-made Anakin Skywalker reveal scar appliances.They are made of foam.As you can see in the pictures this set is not a direct match for the scars that were eventually used on screen.This set may have been prototypes or a rejected design for the appliances.These scars were created by Stuart Freeborn for the reveal.Very pleased to have another small piece of Skywalker history in my collection!
PRODUCTION-MADE MINIATURE BIKER SCOUT HEAD AND MINIATURE LUKE/LEIA ENDOR PONCHO HELMET
These are a production-made miniature Biker Scout head and a miniature Luke/Leia Endor poncho helmet.Both pieces were made for the speederbike chase on Endor though unfinished and unused for the scene.As a kid the Biker Scouts really were one of my favourite Imperials as they had such a unique look and the speederbike chase on Endor is one of the most memorable and famous scenes in the film so these pieces,those unusued for the screen,are fantastic additions.I have never seen any other miniature Biker Scour pieces in other collections (though this does not preclude them being there!) so I am very,very pleased to have these unique pieces from Jedi.
PRODUCTION-MADE DEATH STAR SURFACE SECTION
This is a small unused production-made surface section from the Death Star II.It remains very detailed and a nice companion piece to my screenused surface section from ANH. "That blast came from the Death Star!"
PRODUCTION-USED STORYBOARD AND LUCASFILM INTERNAL MEMO
A production storyboard featuring Vader on board the bridge of the Executor with Admiral Piett.It is,as all storyboards were for security reasons,individually stamped.This display also contains a handwritten memo by Costume designer Aggie Rogers to creature effects maestro Stuart Freeborn detailing what Lucas wanted specifically for the design of the Imperial Dignitaries seen with the Emperor in the Death Star's throne room.Pictured above is the scene depicted in the storyboard and a shot of the Imperial dignitaries in the Throne Room.A nice set of production materials.
