Our expert's notes

A 13” x 12” low altitude Death Star surface panel from George Lucas’ Star Wars: A New Hope. This piece was used as part of a miniature set of the Death Star’s immense surface, specifically for low-altitude shots in which fighters flew close to the station during the Rebel assault. Designed and constructed by Industrial Light & Magic’s model miniature department, the construction of the Death Star was a massive undertaking, as the sequence called for a vast battlefield consisting of unique surface panels.

Constructed from dense biscuit foam, the surface is decorated with cast-in greeblies to create an industrial patchwork of parts. Carved into the surface is a grid-like pattern, to simulate panelled construction. The surface is painted in varying shades of grey, giving the piece a cold, mechanical look. This item shows wear due to production use and age, with some chipping to the biscuit foam and paint, and is in fine overall condition. Dimensions: 34 cm x 30.5 cm x 11.5 cm (13” x 12” x 4 ½”)

£3,000 - 5,000

This item comes with a Propstore Certificate of Authenticity
