Description:
This original lithograph was printed on 100 pound coated linen stock for Lucasfilm Ltd. in 1978. There were a small number originally signed and numbered by the artist for sale at SuperSnipe, a New York comic art gallery. These unsigned pieces found in the Marketing archives at Skywalker Ranch are the last of the lot. The lithograph measures 19" x 25" framed (18" x 24" unframed) and is beautifully set in a black wood frame with plexiglass and a ¼" spacer between the plastic and the artwork to give depth to the piece.
This double-drawing piece of art by designer Joe Johnston shows an X-wing fighter in attack position with its wings spread and a rear view design of a Y-wing fighter. Drawings like these helped ILM artisans build and later photograph prop vehicles that were used in the filming of Star Wars. These items are part of a recent find in the Marketing archives at Skywalker Ranch. Some items may not be in perfect mint condition, but all are at least in very good shape; price has been adjusted accordingly. Extremely limited quantity.
