Looking for HiRes Publicity Stills from Star Wars

I'm trying to recreate (the german version of) the read along book from the original Star Wars. I have almost every picture, but I'm having problems to find the last 2 in high quality and/or resolution. I tried moviestillsdb.com as well as google image search:

Here I already have a HiRes version, but it's rotated and cropped and I'm looking for an uncropped version:

I hope anyone here can help me.

Thanks SilverWook, but I thought more of official photos or professional scans than of moire effected book scans. However, the TFN link has some interesting material.

And the ebay link: that's the same cropped photo I already have.

I found a really good scan of the Star Wars Storybook. But the pictures I need are either not in there or too small to be useable.

I can upload to any site the pictures, but I'm interested in exchanging material to increase my collection. I have private photographs of ILM.

I could upload my stuff, which isn't very much, but that's all I can offer you.
Are you interested in just OT stuff or PT and (T)CW stuff too?

Are you willing to share your stuff with me, even if I don't have anything you want?

Dude, that was a simple "yes" or "no" question.
Am I talking to a bot here?

YES, if you have pictures that I do not ...
Not if you do not have any photos that I do not have

That's what I thought. You may leave my thread now.

Looks like working on fan preservations isn't good enough a contribution to get something back ;)

No problem, let the thread. you lose the pictures you want and the ability to do a good deal of trade.

RE: Looking for HiRes Publicity Stills from Star Wars

I don't care if you have the pictures I want, because I won't support your greedy behavior. Now get out, before I loose my contenance.

Okay, thanks to SilverWook and starwarsarchives.com I'm down to two missing pictures. I got a better version of the one with Luke on the turrett, but it's still missing his left foot and the pedals.

I found a pdf version of the book you are looking for in English, and it has the cropping you desire.  If you simply take a good snapshot of the pictures in question, you can get a pretty high resolution picture for your preservation.

Hope it helps :)

The ROTJ collaborative thread is a wealth of ideas, both on how to edit Return of the Jedi, as well as how to collaborate in an edit.  Emanswfan has taken leadership of the project.

A very rough edit of how the Battle of Endor could go
A very rough idea of how ROTJ could end

Rough edit based on the final script with some deviation:
