Description

Star Wars concept artist and now a respected film director, Joe Johnston was originally hired by George Lucas to establish the Industrial Light & Magic�s art department in August of 1975. Johnston drew these storyboards in late 1975 and were based on early drafts for the special effects sequences that ILM was planning for the Death Star battle scene. You can see in storyboard #358, the early take on Chewbacca resembling nothing like the final character seen in the film. Also, the cockpit where Chewbacca and Han Solo are piloting is actually inside the Rebel Ship, which later became Princess Leia�s Blockade Runner seen fleeing the Star Destroyer in the opening sequence of Star Wars.

Horror film director and producer Charles Band obtained the storyboards about 30 years ago from friends he knew at ILM and kept them in his private collection all this time until he recently decided to let them go. The storyboards were drawn with Rapidograph pens and gray felt markers in black-and-white and shades of gray on tracing vellum. The actual image size of the storyboards is about 4� X 9.5� and on 7� X 11� vellum paper.
