Ahead of May the 4th, we unearthed the real story behind the 1983 Rolling Stone 'Star Wars: Return of the Jedi' photo shoot of Princess Leia, Darth Vader and others.
Princess Leia arrived to the beach with Darth Vader, a scruffy Ewok and one of Jabba the Hutt’s hefty henchman.
The magazine had reached out to Los Angeles-based photographer Aaron Rapoport to tackle the assignment. Despite windy conditions, a crowded beach and three costumed subjects lumbering through the sand, the shoot resulted in a classic cover photo and showcased Fisher at the height of her “Star Wars” popularity.

“In those days the cover was the big trophy for a photographer,” Rapoport told SFGATE. “I wasn’t an Annie Leibovitz kind of shooter, but they would call me when there was a difficult shoot that had to be done quickly. And they specifically asked me for a beach picnic theme.”
