This particular space battle sadly wasn't to be seen in RETURN OF THE JEDI- I love the X-wing fighter turning the tables and pursuing Darth Vader's personal TIE fighter!- but its a memorable and iconic ILM composite image nonetheless, and one which graced the cover of a popular book about the effects company- INDUSTRIAL LIGHT & MAGIC: THE ART OF SPECIAL EFFECTS, by Thomas G. Smith- way back in 1986.
