STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE (1977) - Linen-Backed Full-Scale Rear Elevation "Robot R2" Production Blueprint - A linen-backed, full-scale rear elevation "Robot R2" blueprint from George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. This blueprint of loyal droid R2-D2 was originally drawn by draftsman Peter Childs, then printed and distributed on "The Star Wars"-branded drafting paper two months prior to filming.

Originating from a 1976-era Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) crew member and labeled "Rear Elevation Robot Artoo," this linen-backed blueprint identifies several measurements of R2's design, as well as various DRG numbers. It is designated as the second of four sheets reissued by the production on January 23, 1976 to accommodate a design modification to the droid's legs. This blueprint underwent professional paper restoration to address water damage, making the stains less visible but muting down some of the original blue coloring in the process. The print has been linen-backed for stability and exhibits minor stains and wear along its edges from use. Dimensions: 33" x 51.75" (84 cm x 131.5 cm)

Estimate: $6,000 - 12,000
