A drawing for a production illustration of the Yavin "Rebel stronghold" hand-drawn by Ralph McQuarrie for George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. McQuarrie worked on the film in multiple capacities, including designing several key locations during pre-production.

This concept sketch was started in April 1975 as a prelim for a final production illustration of the "Rebel stronghold" on Yavin. It is rendered in graphite on vellum with red colored pencil borders. The paper exhibits discoloration and creasing along the edges, with tearing visible near the top of the temple and on the right side.

Dimensions: 22" x 13" (56 cm x 33 cm)
