One of the many attractive elements of the Star Wars story beyond the edges of what we see on the screen is the making of the saga, the people behind the camera who craft, create, score and build the galaxy. Continuity Supervisor Pamela Mann was one of the team who helped keep everything in continuity and in place on Return of the Jedi and her candid, behind-the-scenes images were up for auction at Windsor Auctions, selling for over £4000.00.
Personal photographs taken by a British woman who worked on the original Star Wars movies during breaks in filming include Han Solo actor Harrison Ford holding a sizeable fish he had just caught during a fishing trip and a group photo signed by the late Carrie Fisher.
Pamela Mann, now aged in her 90s, was the continuity supervisor on The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. She also worked on the Steven Spielberg movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Her job involved taking polaroid pictures of actors such as Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill at the end of a filming session to ensure there were no continuity errors when the recording resumed.
But the candid photographs, sold for more than £4,000, were taken during breaks in filming. There was also a group picture signed for Pamela by many members of the cast including Mark Hamill, who wrote that working with her had been a ‘continual pleasure’.
Exploring the galaxy since 1978, Mark wrote his first fan fiction in '81 and been a presence online since his first webpage Fanta War in 1996. He currently contributes to ILM.com and SkywalkerSound.com, having previously written for Star Wars Insider, StarWars.com, Star Wars Encyclopedia, Build The Millennium Falcon, Starburst Magazine, Geeky Monkey, TV Film Memorabilia and Model and Collectors Mart.
He is a four-time Star Wars Celebration Stage host (the only podcaster to have appeared on every Celebration podcast stage since it began in 2015), the Daily Content Manager of Fantha Tracks and the co-host of Making Tracks, Canon Fodder and Start Your Engines on Fantha Tracks Radio.
