STAR WARS: 50 Behind The Scenes Photos from RETURN OF THE JEDI

Star Wars: Return of The Jedi is the end of the middle trilogy in George Lucas' grand nine movie vision. What seemed ambitious at the time now seems standard fair for large stories when compared The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit with six films, Harry Potter with eight movies, and the Marvel cineverse with ten films and counting.

With the new Star Wars trilogy and various spin off movies we might have 1-2 Star Wars movies a year for a very long time. Looking at the behind the scenes photos of Return of The Jedi, producing so many movies simultaneously would have been insane to attempt at the time.

We've posted a few of the photos before, but most of this collection is new to GeekTyrant. Photos via JoinYouInTheSun.
