BEHIND THE SCENES: PLANNING FOR BATTLE!

At Elstree Studios, in early 1982, location filming pre-planning and action filming choreography is underway for RETURN OF THE JEDI's massive battle above the Sarlaac Pit, of which a detailed model/diorama of the area, Skiffs and Sail Barge prop (then being ambitiously constructed at Yuma, Arizona), is looked at by Richard Marquand, George Lucas, Producer Howard Kazanjian, Production Designer Norman Reynolds, and US side of the Stunt Choreography, Glenn Randall.

Duwayne Dunham records conversation footage between Lucas and Marquand as other department heads are located around the model/diorama.
