A Death Star turbolaser tower model miniature from George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. Rebel fighters fought off turbolaser towers on the surface of the Death Star during their final assault against the Imperial battlestation.

Designed and constructed by Industrial Light & Magic's (ILM) model miniature department for shots of the Death Star's massive surface, this lot consists of a tower and its gun turret in two separate pieces, both made of biscuit foam etched with lines and finished with industrial gray paint. The gun turret has two dark gray replica guns made of cast resin. The corners of the top of the turret underwent restoration, as they had previously broken off, and both pieces exhibit some discoloration and chipping from use and age. Dimensions: 3.5" x 2" x 4.75" (9 cm x 5 cm x 12.25 cm)

Estimate: $6,000 - 12,000
