Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi, First Unit clapperboard from Return of the Jedi

original production material

This is the medium clapper used by the first unit in the english filming, in ELstree Studios. The big version is in Lucasfilm archives.

You can screenmatch it with the clapper that appears in the bluray deleted scenes shots (madine), I put some hints in red in the attached photos.

It has a white tape on the title. The story about it, is that because of the strong use, the title was fading, and may not be visible by the Laboratory or the editor, so the clapperloader put a tape over the title for the last days of shooting.

It ended being used by the second unit doing the cockpit scenes, and I have understood, George Lucas himself did some shots of cockpits, so cool
