Our expert's notes

A 6” x 6” medium altitude Death Star surface square from George Lucas’ Star Wars: A New Hope. This piece was part of a miniature set of the Death Star’s immense surface, and was used for medium altitude shots in which fighters flew over the Imperial station during the Rebel assault. Designed and built by Industrial Light & Magic’s model miniature department, the construction of the Death Star miniatures was a massive undertaking, as the sequence called for a vast battlefield consisting of unique surface panels.

Constructed from dense biscuit foam, the surface consists of four connected squares decorated with cast-in greeblies to create an industrial patchwork of parts. The piece is painted industrial grey. The surface shows minor wear due to production use and age, with some chipping to the biscuit foam, but the miniature remains in very fine condition. Dimensions: 15 cm x 15 cm x 8 cm (6” x 6” x 2 ¼”)

£4,000 - 6,000
