Matte paintings/scene recreations original trilogy help

Hi,

I'm looking for hi-resolution empty background plates, matte paintings from the original series or masked, photoshopped images where the main actors are removed from the scenes.

I'm trying to figure out how to do scene recreations by super imposing friends who will act on a green screen.

If you have images can you post them please.

This:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Limited-Edition-Star-Executor-Collectors/dp/B000QVT2PM

came with a bunch of them printed on glossy card, though I don't know how well they might scan. If I remember rightly, there was the Ewok village, Jabba's Palace, and Slave One parked up on Cloud City among others.

But they all had black spaces where the live action would be, which is of course how matte paintings work.

I'm a lucky owner of the box. Should I "try" to scan it ?
