Star Wars (1977) - FRAMED

An original 1977 20th Century Fox Black and White Publicity Still, first printing, framed.

Anthony Daniels as C-3PO with Imperial stormtroopers in George Lucas's science fiction classic.

Anthony Daniels had no wish to play a robot and nearly declined the meeting, until he saw Ralph McQuarrie's painting of C-3PO and was won over by its gentle, rather forlorn face. On the first day of filming in Tunisia part of the costume shattered and cut into his foot, a taste of the discomfort to come. The stormtroopers beside him were made in Twickenham by the prop maker Andrew Ainsworth, whose helmets later reached the UK Supreme Court in a copyright battle with Lucasfilm. This rare first printing carries its National Screen Service number.
