Own a piece of the Original Death Star!

A Death Star surface model piece from George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. This piece was created as part of a miniature set of the Death Star's massive surface, specifically for low-altitude shots where fighters flew close to the station during the Rebel assault. Designed and constructed by Industrial Light & Magic's (ILM) model miniature department, several different patterns of surface were created, cast in bulk, and then painted by hand and assembled to create the overall surface of the Death Star. The style of piece was sometimes referred to as the "kit kat", due to its distinctive shape.

The cast-foam piece is hand-painted, and was retained by an ILM team member at the end of production in 1976. There are some minor signs of wear and chipping to the paint finish, but it remains in overall good overall condition. A display stand is included. Dimensions: 3" x 3" x 1.25" (7.5 cm x 7.5 cm x 3 cm)

The piece includes a letter of authenticity from an Industrial Light & Magic employee who worked on Star Wars in 1976, as well as a certificate of authenticity from Propstore.
