Darth Vader battling a Rebel Hero

Manufacturer: Lucasfilm Release Date: 01 Jun 1978 Property: Episode IV Part No: SWLFLLGDV MSRP: 149.00 USD Country: United States

Creative Team: - Interior Art: McQuarrie, Ralph 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 lithograph is concept artist Ralph McQuarrie's original version of Darth Vader battling a Rebel hero character. This was one of McQuarrie's first five pieces of concept art that convinced the directors of 20th Century Fox to fund the filming of the original 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.
