Jedi Journal (p.4)
George Lucas set out to outdo the groundbreaking visuals of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. With Return of the Jedi requiring more effects shots of greater complexity in a compressed schedule, ILM was split into three main units under Star Wars veterans Richard Edlund, Dennis Muren, and Ken Ralston. This feature, edited by Don Shay, provides a month-by-month chronicle of the planning, triumphs, struggles, and solutions that shaped the film’s effects.
