Ewoks used a variety of crude traps and weapons to aid the Rebel Alliance in the battle to destroy the Imperial shield generator on their homeworld, the Forest Moon of Endor. The lot consists of a wooden axe with a foam blade painted gray to simulated carved stone, a brown leather wrap, and a wooden handle; two printed hole-punched storyboards depicting Ewoks leaping from the trees to attack scout troopers; and four manifest sheets labeled "Blue Harvest" listing the contents of containers that were being transported for production. The lot originated from Art Director James Schoppe and is in good overall condition with some wear from production and age, including scuffing and paint loss on the axe and staple marks in the manifests. Dimensions (largest): 19" x 7" x 3" (48.5 cm x 18 cm x 7.75 cm); (smallest): 11" x 8.5" (28 cm x 21.75 cm) Estimate: $12,000 - 16,000
