Return of The Jedi (1983) - FRAMED

An original 1983 Lucasfilm Ltd. / Twentieth Century-Fox Publicity Still #ROJ-6 from the official press kit, framed with anti-UV glass.

Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) in the robe of a Jedi Knight, surrounded by the creatures in Jabba's court.

Beneath Jabba's throne waited the rancor, and Phil Tippett's team first tried to bring the beast to life with a performer in a suit before turning to a small rod puppet filmed at high speed, which gave it a terrible weight on screen. Luke's calm entrance in black marks how far he had come since the farm boy of 1977. Press kit stills like this one went out to newspapers and magazines ahead of release, and they were the first glimpse the world had of the film.
