Note other lots in the auction may close on June 30th or July 1st. A hand-drawn Joe Johnston X-wing pilot storyboard from George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. X-wings were instrumental in the Rebel siege on the Darth Star. Executed in ink on tracing paper, this storyboard shows a pilot in the cockpit of an early X-wing design. The now-famous craft is shown with just a single engine on each side, a preliminary design that was later resurrected for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The storyboard is signed by effects illustrator and designer Johnston, who storyboarded most of the film's space sequences. It is in good overall condition with some wear from use and age, including yellowing around the edges and the top-left corner of the paper being cut without damaging the illustration itself. Dimensions: 11.75" x 7.25" (30 cm x 18.5 cm) Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $5,000 - 7,000
