This piece was created as part of a miniature set of the Death Star's massive surface, specifically for low-altitude shots where fighters flew close to the station during the Rebel assault. Designed and constructed by Industrial Light & Magic's (ILM) model miniature department, the Death Star construction was a massive undertaking, as the sequence called for a vast battlefield consisting of unique surface panels. The biscuit foam surface piece is decorated with cast greeblies and is finished in industrial gray paint. There are some minor signs of wear and chipping to the paint finish, but it remains in overall good overall condition. Dimensions: 3" x 3" x 1.25" (7.5 cm x 7.5 cm x 3 cm) Estimate: $3,500 - 5,500
