MOST OF THE SLIDE MOUNTS FROM THIS COLLECTION HAD BEEN TAPED TO A SURFACE, PROBABLY FOR CLOSE INSPECTION. ONCE THE TAPE WAS REMOVED THE TINY LAYER OF TOP SURFACE OF THE MOUNT WAS TAKEN OFF BY THE TAPE REMOVAL. ANOTHER PROOF OF USE AT THE STUDIO DURING PRODUCTION.
2"X 2" 35mm PRODUCTION SLIDE FROM A MAGAZINE ARCHIVE. ORIGINALS USED DURING PREPRODUCTION, FILMING, OR POST PRODUCTION
USUALLY PROVIDED TO THE MAGAZINE ON REQUEST FOR A FEATURE ARTICLE. IN THIS ERA OF MOVIES SLIDES WERE NOT GENERALLY IN PRESS KITS
After reviewing this collection with a couple Star Wars fanatics and a collector since the 70s, it seems to me that the majority of the slides were camera originals used for pre and post production as well as during shooting of the film. Many are not scenes in the actual films. Why they would have been sent to a magazine would be an educated guess. My guess is a friendly employee or a dump of unwanted slides. The majority were never publish and are ultra rare production slides. A former studio employee informed me that when a magazine requested slides for an article they would send a number of them to the magazine and kept no record of what they sent.
THE SLIDE MAY BE MEANT TO BE SEEN FROM THE OTHER SIDE. IT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR. IT IS VERY HARD TO TAKE A PHOTO OF SLIDES. MY SCANNER IS CHEAP AND DOES NOT SCAN AS CLEAR AS THE ACTUAL SLIDE. A PROFESSIONAL MAKING STILLS FROM THESE SLIDES WOULD HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO SCAN THEM CRYSTAL CLEAR. I APPLIED A "WATERMARK" ANYWAYS TO PROTECT DUPLICATION
MY CAMERA DISTORTS THE COLOR OF THE MOUNTING WHEN TAKING A PICTURE WITHOUT FLASH. CHECK THE PHOTO OF THE MOUNTING FOR THE ACTUAL COLOR
