THE ILLUSTRATED STAR WARS UNIVERSE (1995) - Hand-Drawn Ralph McQuarrie "Tatooine - Jabba's Castle - Monk's Tea Room" Illustration Prelim - A preliminary drawing for an illustration titled "Tatooine - Jabba's Castle - Monk's Tea Room" hand-drawn by Ralph McQuarrie for Kevin J. Anderson's book The Illustrated Star Wars Universe. Considered the foremost artist from the Star Wars franchise, McQuarrie contributed art for the book.

Select McQuarrie illustrations were developed during production on the original trilogy, with designs for a tea room in Jabba the Hutt's palace inhabited by monks of the B'omarr Order and other denizens such as Bib Fortuna, first seen in Return of the Jedi-era artworks. The tea room was ultimately unseen in that film's final cut.

Rendered in pencil on two sheets of bordered vellum taped together, this prelim is also featured on page 295 of the Abrams publication Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie. The vellum exhibits several stains and crinkling throughout. Dimensions: 12" x 20" (30.5 cm x 51 cm)

Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000
