Our expert's notes

Two hand-drawn storyboards from Irvin Kershner’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. This lot includes a rough sketch storyboard drawn by Joe Johnston using pencil on paper, and a hand-drawn revision of the same shot by Industrial Light & Magic artist Dave Carson. Visual-effects art director Johnston would sometimes do quick storyboards in pencil to convey his ideas for a sequence, and then pass them on for other ILM staff to complete a more detailed version that could be used by the production. Labeled ‘CE 13’, (Cloud City escape) Johnston’s pencil sketch shows the Millennium Falcon flying toward an Imperial Star Destroyer with TIE-Fighters in pursuit. Also marked 'Added 11-7-79', Carson's revised illustration shows the same moment, but the illustration is fleshed-out with vivid details and coloured with ink and markers. Along with his initials, an additional note 'omit' is written in pencil on the coloured storyboard, indicating that this moment was ultimately cut. The set remains in very fine condition. Dimensions (each): 22 cm x 27 cm (8 ½" x 10 ½")
