Return of the Jedi Triple-Signed 8×10 — Mike Quinn, Dave Barclay & Mike Edmonds

A rare black-and-white 8×10 photograph from an unpublished 1982 People magazine photoshoot, hand-signed by Mike Quinn, Dave Barclay and Mike Edmonds—three of the creature performers behind Return of the Jedi.

The story behind the photograph

Not long after we completed filming Return of the Jedi in 1982, Dave Barclay, Mike Edmonds and I were interviewed by People magazine about the puppetry and creatures created for the film. An accompanying photoshoot was also arranged.

Although part of the interview appeared in the magazine, the photographs themselves were never published.

This is one of two images approved from that photoshoot. Dave and I are holding pieces from the original Bossk costume. Stuart Freeborn’s workshop couldn’t provide any parts of Jabba, but they did find the mysterious tail Mike is holding—we still aren’t entirely sure what creature it belonged to!

I think we were all asked to pull some kind of strange face for the camera, which explains quite a lot.

A final release of 40

A small number of these signed photographs was originally offered several years ago. I have now brought one final group of 40 out of the vault.

Each photograph has been hand-signed by:

• Mike Quinn — Nien Nunb
• Dave Barclay — chief Jabba puppeteer
• Mike Edmonds — Logray and Jabba’s tail performer

I arranged this signing personally, and you are purchasing directly from me, so authenticity is guaranteed.

Once these 40 have sold, I will not be arranging another release.
