Castle Fine Art is proud to present From the Adventures of Luke Starkiller, a world-exclusive collection of original art by the prestigious pencil artist, Robert Bailey. Alongside original script pages from the 1977’s ‘Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope’ film, Bailey has exquisitely illustrated scenes in his famously detailed pencil artworks. The script featured in the collection originally belonged to English actor and mime artist, Anthony Daniels, best known for playing the loyal protocol droid C-3PO in the Star Wars saga. The actor first appeared in the role of C-3PO in 1977 and is the only actor to appear in all Star Wars feature films to date. His 145-page draft script, credited to Lucas, is dated January 1, 1976. The visibly worn title page has Daniels' name stamped on it and features the title “Star Wars”. This artworks relates to script page 86. The authenticated fourth draft script was used during the production of ‘A New Hope’ and contains hand-annotated personal pencil markings and script revisions by the actor, providing an insight into the film’s complex production process. In January 2024, Harrison Ford’s copy of the script sold at auction for over £10,000. Using a method called hatching, whereby the closely drawn parallel lines imply shade, tone and texture, Bailey’s drawings take many hours to complete. Each image is purposely chosen to carefully complement the script page it accompanies, perfectly recreating that movie moment. In this collection, Robert Bailey’s drawings and pages from Anthony Daniels’ script have been paired together, then mounted, framed and placed under museum-quality glass. The result is a collection of totally unique pieces, perfect for any Star Wars fan. Find out more about this collection here or alternatively shop more art here.
