I stumbled across this nice little Star Wars item over the weekend at Walmart in the back-to-school section. It is a small tin box with a hinged lid. It measures about 4″ x 9″ x 1.5″ and features the famous Hildebrandt artwork. You can pick these up for a very reasonable $2.47 each.
Gus Lopez and Duncan Jenkins have revealed a new book showcasing some rare collectible available to the cast and crew of the Star Wars films.
Some of the most obscure and scarce Star Wars collectibles ever produced are the items offered to the crew and cast of the Star Wars films. Duncan Jenkins and Gus Lopez take the reader on a tour of crew memorabilia from all of the Star Wars films and productions, from Star Wars: A New Hope to Revenge of the Sith, along with crew memorabilia from Blue Harvest, the Droids and Ewoks cartoons, the Ewok movies, Star Tours, Lucasfilm, Skywalker Ranch, Industrial Light and Magic, and Clone Wars. These extremely limited T-shirts, jackets, coasters, patches, caps, stationery, greeting cards, and invitations are covered in depth. Each chapter is organized by film/production in a snazzy design by Mattias Rendahl offering extensive photographs and information.
Gus and Duncan’s Guide to Star Wars Cast & Crew Items will be available for shipping soon and we’ll be selling and signing copies at the Completist Publications booth at Star Wars Celebration VI in Orlando, Florida on August 23-26.
As a special treat, a limited supply of the shirt used in the cover of this book will be available at Celebration VI as well!
