Note other lots in the auction may close on June 30th or July 1st. A pair of production-used storyboards with George Lucas' handwritten inscriptions from the production of Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. These printed copy storyboards were made at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) during postproduction on the original film. The matched pair of boards are notably marked up by Lucas himself, who used them as a tool to illustrate changes needed to a shot of the landspeeder cruising into Mos Eisley. One of the boards is inscribed "This is the way the shot is now," and features a hand-drawn shadow of a landspeeder that rests just underneath the craft. The other board is inscribed "This is the way we want it," and features a space between the landspeeder's underside and the shadow below. Lucas has added in pencil "clear line" with an arrow showing the separation he was seeking for the shadow. Each storyboard is in a standard piece of letter paper with pinholes in the corners where it was previously mounted, and 3-holes punched for fitting into a binder. The pages are in overall good condition with folding and wear to the edges from handling. Dimensions: 8.5" x 11" (22 cm x 28 cm) Estimate: $1,500 - 2,500
