One of the slap-up special effects accomplishment in Star war : A New Hope was the final Death Star run . For the shot , sectional pieces of the Death Star were created to be shot from above , create the arresting images of the space station ’s bumpy , menacing exterior as the hero sandwich closed in .
Now , one of those diorama piece — a very large one , at that — is on cut-rate sale . And it ’s pretty amazing .
The piece , which measures 23.75″ lengthwise , and is up to 6.8″ tall at its highest point , is a wonderful firearm of sculpting . According toeBay , the piece was literally thrown out after production , thrown into a landfill . While many pieces of the original stroke were lost that way , this one was retrieve by an ex - Industrial Lights and Magic employee who kept it as a memento until it was take on in 2014 by professional collector Steve Grad .
Now , it ’s for sales event : summons begin this past Thursday , and runs for another week . The current bidding is only at around $ 6,000 , which is , candidly , moderately reasonable for something like this .
you may find more information on the piece , along with a link to a varlet to place bid , here .
