Anthony Daniels' personal hand-annotated fourth draft script from the production of George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope.

This 145-page, fourth draft script is credited to Lucas, is dated "January 1, 1976," and features Daniels' name stamped on the title page. The title page features the title "Star Wars" and a second title page features the longer title "The Adventures of Luke Starkiller as taken from the "Journal of the Whills"." The Journal of the Whills was originally conceived by Lucas as a plot device, whereby an immortal being - a Whill - watched and recorded the events of the film.

Threepio's lines throughout the script are identified with pencil markings and some of the lines have locations noted next to them, e.g. "Location 9." A torn page from an unidentified script is slipped between pages 113 and 114.

The script is bound between yellow card covers, with the front cover featuring an original triangular "The Star Wars" sticker. The script exhibits some damage to the cover and title page. Dimensions: 11" x 8.5" x 0.75" (28 cm x 22 cm x 2 cm)



This lot comes from the personal collection of actor Anthony Daniels. Daniels plays loyal protocol droid C-3PO in the Star Wars saga. He first appeared in the role in 1977 and is the only actor to appear in all Star Wars feature films to date.
