Ralph McQuarrie Star Wars: Return of the Jedi – Luke vs Darth Vader – Portfolio Print No. 15 – Framed
A superb original period Ralph McQuarrie production-art print from the 1983 Star Wars: Return of the Jedi portfolio, presented in a modern white frame ready for display.
This is Portfolio Print No. 15, depicting one of the defining moments of the original Star Wars trilogy — Luke Skywalker confronting Darth Vader in a lightsaber battle inside the Emperor's throne room aboard the second Death Star.
The dramatic McQuarrie composition captures the vast industrial interior of the Death Star, with Vader and Luke facing one another at the centre of the scene.
The original portfolio identification sheet describes No. 15 as Luke Skywalker, having completed his Jedi training, once again doing battle with Darth Vader, lightsaber against lightsaber.
Legendary concept artist Ralph McQuarrie was instrumental in creating the visual identity of the original Star Wars trilogy.
This print originates from the 1983 First Edition Return of the Jedi portfolio, containing 20 Ralph McQuarrie production paintings from the film.
