After murdering the Separatist Council on the volcanic planet Mustafar, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) fell in a lightsaber duel with his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). This design maquette was created by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) to help the production design team and art department establish the look of the molten planet's surface. It also represents the site near two small lava streams where the epic duel concluded, as Obi-Wan informed Anakin that he had the high ground. The sequence was then brought to life with a combination of live-action stunt work, digital environments effects, and physical model miniatures. This large foam and paper composite maquette is split into four sections, each of which is ornately molded and painted brown and gray to resemble craggy, mountainous stone with red and black lava running underneath. The maquette is in good overall condition with exposed foam, flaking paint, and scuffs throughout from production and age. Dimensions (each): 18" x 17" x 5" (45.75 cm x 43.25 cm x 12.75 cm) Estimate: $8,000 - 10,000
