Note other lots in the auction may close on June 30th or July 1st. A light-up R6-LE5 dome from the production of J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. R6-LE5, also known as "Leefive", served as an astromech droid at the Resistance base on Ajan Kloss. The droid, with its R6-style dome, can be seen in the background as the Resistance discussed their plans for the climactic battle, as well as in a behind-the-scenes featurette behind Abrams and Billie Lourd (who plays Lieutenant Connix) as they talk on set. R6-LE5 additionally appears on page 98 of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - The Ultimate Visual Guide, with a small section about its backstory and personality, and was sold as a toy during the promotion of the film. The astromech dome is made of resin and styrene with some metal adornments. It is hand-painted in different shades of blue, and, when powered by the accompanying battery pack, its lights illuminate and flash. It is intentionally tarnished to appear old and well-used, like much of the Resistance's equipment, in keeping with George Lucas' "used future" aesthetic for the saga. The dome has additional wear from production use, including scuffing, scratches and some minor cracking to the paintwork, most notably around the bottom. There are also remnants of glue and signs of repair on the exterior. Dimensions: 18.25" x 18.25" x 13.5" (46.5 cm x 46.5 cm x 34 cm) Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $10,000 - 15,000
