RFR Q&A #265: The Posters of RETURN OF THE JEDI
/
Like with it's predecessors, the final film of the Original Trilogy was released with a slew of fresh and original poster artwork ranging from the wonderful to the weird. RFR V.I.P. Peter Beisser is back to continue his exploration into the making of these classic theater posters and the artists who made it happen. In this episode, Peter conducts interviews with a pair of artists who worked on the iconic ROTJ "lightsaber" poster, former Lucasfilm art director Rio Phior and former Lucasfilm in-house artist Melanie Paykos, along with the legendary Steve Sansweet who shares behind-the-scenes info about the poster art as well. And, of course, Peter shares some of his experiences from our historic RFR at Rancho Obi-Wan event from earlier this month and more!
