Star destroyers, originally known as Imperial cruisers, were seen throughout the original Star Wars film. Artist Colin Cantwell, a veteran of 2001: A Space Odyssey and other films, was one of the first artists Lucas hired on the project and did some of the earliest drawings and physical models of spaceships. Cantwell's designs were later refined by Joe Johnston to create the final looks for the film. This sketch, hand-drawn and signed by Cantwell, features multiple views of the craft is rendered in graphite and colored pencil on illustration paper. It is one of the earliest pieces of concept art created for Star Wars: A New Hope. It exhibits minor signs of wear, including light creases from handling. Dimensions: 8.5" x 11" (22 cm x 28 cm) Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $1,200 - 1,800
