STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE (1977) - Dave Jones Collection: "Star Nars" X-Wing Crew T-Shirt with Benefit Screening Invitation and Credits Folder - A "Star Nars" X-wing crew shirt with a benefit screening invitation and a credits folder for George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. Given to Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) crew members early in production, this style of beige cotton T-shirt featuring the words "STAR WARS" in bold red and black block letters behind an illustration of an X-wing starfighter came to be known as the "Star Nars" shirt due to the letter "W" being cut off. Lucas later invited ILM crew members to a benefit screening of the finished film.

This lot comes from the collection of veteran model maker Dave Jones, who worked on the film's miniature and optical effects unit. Along with the shirt, it includes a glossy, folded invitation with the title printed in the classic blue-and-white font on front as well as a two-page folder with the film's technical crew listed on the first page and the miniature and optical effects unit, including Jones, listed on the second. The shirt exhibits some discoloration at the neckline. Dimensions: (largest) 20" x 20" x 5" (51 cm x 51 cm x 12.75 cm)

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
