A production-used "Adventures of the Starkiller" second draft screenplay from the production of George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. Very early versions of Lucas' screenplay featured the title "Adventures of the Starkiller."

This lot comes from the collection of the film's advertising and publicity supervisor Charles "Charley" Lippincott. This 115-page printed script is held together with three brass-color brackets, titled "Adventures of the Starkiller (episode one) "The Star Wars" by George Lucas," and is labeled "Second Draft January 28, 1975" and marked "#5." This vintage document features a blue-stamp seal reading "Charles Lippincott Used this item Marketing & Promoting Star Wars"; this stamp is authenticated with Bumpy Lippincott's mark and was applied to verify this item as part of Lippincott's archive prior to its sale. Of all the various drafts of Star Wars, the second-draft is one of the rarest. It exhibits staining and corner creasing from age and use. Dimensions: 8.5" x 11" x 1" (21.75 cm x 28 cm x 2.75 cm)

Included with this lot is an original brochure printed for the 2016 convention MidAmeriCon 2 (“MAC II”) which re-united Gary Kurtz, Alan Dean Foster, Marc Pevers, and Gary Kurtz. The brochure, titled “Kismet or The Force Awakens”, was written by Ken Keller who was the original Chairman of MidAmeriCon when Lippincott put together a Star Wars display in September 1976. The article recalls details of that pre-release convention, and sets the stage for the 2016 MAC II reunion.

Estimate: $6,000 - 8,000
