Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

An original hand drawn storyboard artwork used in the production of the 1980 science fiction picture The Empire Strikes Back, the second instalment of the classic Star Wars franchise directed by Irvin Kershner.

Accomplished in pen this finely detailed hand drawn board depicts a frame from the memorable and iconic snow walker battle scenes on Hoth. The storyboard was drawn by assistant visual effects art director Nilo Rodis-Jamero and depicts a snowspeeder gunner, rendered on paper which has been cut out and stuck on A4 paper, complete with type written shot details underneath which have again been glued to the board from a separate page, this details shot elements in addition to a description of the scene 'INT. COCKPIT - JACKSON - SIDE'. This shot likely refers to the Wedge's gunner who became Janson rather than Jackson.

All the copies of this storyboard which were distributed to various production members would have originated from this hand drawn original. The storyboard remains in excellent condition with only very small pinholes to the corners, very fine.

A fine piece of original artwork from one of the most influential and highly regarded franchises in cinematic history.
