'REVENGE' OF THE UK WRAP PARTY!

It's time to break out the food and bubbly as the UK filming crew of Revenge of the Jedi issue invites to a unique party celebrating the end of the film's fast and efficient Elstree Studios filming by April 1982. The event proved a success - the technicians known for their legendary ability to enjoy alcohol! - though one or two of the British crew were deeply saddened that George Lucas didn't even bother to make a brief 'hello' at the party!

This image was one of many items from the late Jeremy Bulloch's personal SW collection, the majority of which were auctioned off for charity during 2022.

'Y' IS FOR Y-WING!

Another great behind the scenes reference image from Revenge of the Jedi presumably sent to Kenner Toys/merchandisers in 1982, showing in close detail Princess Leia's Y-wing fighter, ultimately abandoned on Tatooine as she, Han, Lando, Chewie and Threepio depart the planet during the deleted 'Sandstorm' sequence... 

BEHIND THE SCENES: LIGHTS...CAMERA...'REVENGE'!

Revenge of the Jedi makes a striking appearance on a clapperboard used during the filming of General Madine's (Dermot Crowley) ultimately deleted bridge scenes set on his Rebel cruiser, shot at Elstree Studios during February 1982.

CLASSIC IMAGE: GIRL TALK!

On the Tatooine desert stage at Elstree Studios, also housing the Millennium Falcon shell and X and Y-wing fighter props, Carrie Fisher gets in a chat with one of the film's British production team, Pat Carr, before the sandstorm wind machines get going to make filming uncomfortable for the cast, on the first day's filming of Revenge of the Jedi, in January 1982.
