the camera was actually used on Cecil B. DeMille's the ten commandments, according to the making of star wars book.

star wars and vistavision article was released in american cinematographer in their special edition issue i believe.

I'll have to check and see if it is still up on their site.

panavision cameras were also used on the empire strikes back as well as star wars. they actually used a different secondary camera on jedi because they could not purchase a panavision.
