A collection of 79 rare slides from the production of Paul Dini and Bob Carrau's Star Wars: Ewoks. A co-production between Lucasfilm and Nelvana Limited, the series was produced and released concurrently with Star Wars: Droids, earning a nomination for Best Animated Program, Single Program or Series at the prestigious Gemini Awards® (Canada's equivalent of the Emmys®).

These 35mm film slides depict multiple key characters, sets, and sequences, including Wicket (Jim Henshaw), Latara (Sue Murphy), and Chief Chirpa (George Buza), both in frames from the finished series as well as in rarely-seen character and concept artwork created during pre-production. Multiple slides feature annotations, such as characters' names or qualities like "The Guardian" or "Why Me?." The collection comes inside plastic housings inside a plastic three-ring binder labeled for executive producer Miki Herman and hand-marked "Ewoks 120 Slides," though only 79 slides are present.

Also included are issue 29 of Bantha Tracks, which features a cover story about the series, as well as a four-page "Inside Lucasfilm" press release about Ewoks and Droids announcing Lucasfilm's foray into animation. The binder exhibits creasing and wear along its edges from handling and age. Dimensions: (largest) 11.75" x 10.25" x 1.75" (30 cm x 26 cm x 4.5 cm)

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
