Note other lots in the auction may close on June 30th or July 1st. A Kashyyyk tree landing pad texture model miniature from George Lucas' Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Yoda (Frank Oz) flew to Kashyyyk-a forest planet with landing pads in giant trees-to help the Wookiees fend off invading Separatist forces. This model miniature was created by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) to help the visual effects teams establish the palimpsested look of the sacred trees, with a focus on their unique bark texture. The invasion sequence was then created with a combination of live-action photography, computer effects, and additional models. This ornate miniature is constructed of hand-painted and textured foam composite with wood and metal components, including a thin landing pad partially painted to appear wooden. The back of the tree is also unpainted. It remains in good overall condition with a slash on the back and various scuffs and chips to the foam from production and age. Dimensions: 25" x 19" x 36" (63.5 cm x 48.5 cm x 91.5 cm) Estimate: $5,000 - 7,000
