STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE (1977) - 6" x 3" Low-Altitude Death Star Model Miniature Surface Panel - A low-altitude Death Star model miniature surface panel from George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. This piece was created as part of a miniature set of the Death Star's massive surface, specifically for low-altitude shots where fighters flew close to the station during the Rebel assault. Panels such as this were made in several different patterns, cast in bulk, then hand-painted and assembled to create the overall surface of the Death Star.

Designed and constructed by Industrial Light & Magic's (ILM) model miniature department, this biscuit foam panel with cast grid-like greeblies on top is painted in shades of gray. It exhibits chipping and staining. Dimensions: 6" x 3" x 1" (15.25 cm x 7.75 cm x 2.75)

Estimate: $2,500 - 5,000
