^ I still do not buy your argument , care to share ? I could be off base but I feel you are implying that there was a still photographer present on set for every picture depicted in the storybook .I am more inclined to go with what Jonno said , I remember seeing some of those photo novels he talked about …they even did one for Battlestar Galactica . Here is a link to some info on that one …and a really cool website to boot …http://space1970.blogspot.com/2012/11/battlestar-galactica-1978-photostory.html and now that I think of it , how were the lobby cards made for the movies ? and ultimately , can’t the storybook photos still be used as a reference either way for colors ? They look great and could be a great guide for things like hue , value ,saturation and color temperature .But that may just be the artist in me talking …
Well, that’s how it was done, doesn’t matter to me if you believe it or not. 😃 They literally took thousands of production photos and many of them look like they were from the film, but they are not. All SW lobby cards used production photos.
