The Nebulon-B escort frigate served as Rebel headquarters during the Galactic Civil War. Printed copies of design illustrations like this were distributed to various departments for consultation during pre-production. This illustration was originally rendered and marked "First," "R- Doolittle," and "L- Quanset [sic] Huts," in pencil, marker, and pen. The print is signed "Joe", likely referring to ILM effects artist Joe Johnston. It is in fair overall condition with some discoloration from age, creasing, folding down the middle, pinholes, scattered markings, and tearing along its edges. Dimensions: 18" x 24" (45.75 cm x 61 cm) Estimate: $400 - 600
