Edelweiss now has a product page for the upcoming Star Wars Storyboards: The Original Trilogy. The release date is set for March 13, 2014.

For the first time, Lucasfilm has opened its Archives to present the complete storyboards for the original Star Wars trilogy-the world-changing A New Hope and its operatic sequels, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi-as well as never-before-published art from early conceptual and deleted scenes.
From the opening chase above Tatooine in A New Hope to the Battle of Endor in Jedi, this book presents the visual inspiration behind now-iconic moments. Readers can finally see a full set of storyboards by legendary artist Joe Johnston, as well as early boards for Episode IV by Alex Tavoularis and for Episode V by Ivor Beddoes, rarely seen Episode VI boards by Roy Carnon, and Ralph McQuarrie’s never-before-seen storyboards for Episode V.

Edited by J.W. Rinzler and with an introduction by Joe Johnston, the 352 page hardcover will include 1,200 4-color illustrations.

Specs: Abrams (publisher), $40.00 US/$45.00, 9″ W x 11.88″ H
