"This beautiful lithograph of the Millennium Falcon is part of a series created by Lucas Films and Spiderwebart in 1997. We are fortunate to have a few of these still available for our Star Wars collectors. Each one was hand-signed by Greg Hildebrandt and Tim Hildebrandt. Each one has a beautiful hand-done remarque sketch of Chewbacca. This is a very unique Star Wars collectible. We have very few items left signed by both Greg and Tim. Tim Hildebrandt passed away 20 years ago at the age of 65. We lost Greg on October 31st 2024 at the age of 85. Greg and I love Lake Hopatcong. We hope this collectible will find a new home on the lake and help keep it safe and clean." - Jean Scrocco
