Creative Team: - Interior Art: Johnston, Joe 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 plexi-glass and a ¼" spacer between the glass and the artwork to give depth to the piece. This piece of artwork by Joe Johnston is a detailed sketch of TIE fighters over the Death Star equator. 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.
