Bombshells to Blasters, An Auction You Can't Refuse Pt. 1

First Time To Auction

Disney, 2015. Production Designer Rick Carter's pre-production concept sketch accomplished on 19 x 30 in. color print, hand embellished with artists markers. The sketch depicts the passing of a lightsaber to "Rey" (Daisy Ridley). In the resulting movie, this pass was reverse engineered so that "Rey" could ultimately return "Luke Skywalker's" (Mark Hamill) original blue lightsaber, which was presumed lost forever when "Darth Vader" (David Prowse) took Luke's hand in their climactic father/son duel in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. Signed in the bottom right of the artwork, "Rick 2014." Exhibiting minor production handling. In very good to fine condition. Rick Carter speaks on his work for Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens," In Star Wars 7, the first visualization of moments and places that I thought would be important to explore the continued reawakening of the Force. One of the images I came up with was the passing of the lightsaber from an older Jedi to the young Rey who is strong with the Force. The image that came into my mind was Michelangelo's creation, God touching a human hand and giving it life. So the sketch is one I did before knowing who would actually hand off the lightsaber to her. This is the way it sometimes happens, you present images and the Director finds a way to get them into the script. Star Wars 7 Sketch, Luke & R2D2 represents what it would be like for them to re-encounter one another after years, now that Luke was an old man. 3 Sketch books #9, are the most difficult sequences to work out between Rey and the Emperor in their confrontation. I was trying to work out the architecture of the scene, in my first attempts to visualize what would become the movie."
