- Lot Description
One set of 11 pages still notepad bound at top and two loose sketch notes of original pre-production sketch art created by Colin Cantwell for George Lucas in imagining the spaceships that might populate the Star Wars (20th Century, 1977) universe, circa 1974/1975. These sketch illustrations are sold as a lot as they are still bound together at the top from being part of a working note pad (though the cardboard backing, included, is loose). This booklet includes a number of fighter ship designs, front and back, including one distinct design not seen in Cantwell’s other illustrations in other lots. Additionally, some of the pages appear more schematic-like, perhaps for building his prototype models. Also included are two smaller loose notes with sketches. From the collection of Cantwell, who was among the first approached by Lucas to work on the original Star Wars film back in 1974. Cantwell was asked to head up ILM, but he did not want to be tied down to a long-term obligation at that time. Cantwell's most notable contribution was working closely with Lucas on the spaceship designs for Star Wars : A New Hope (now known as Episode IV). Cantwell is known as the creator of the first and original prototype models and designs of the X-Wing, Y-Wing, Tie Fighter, Star Destroyer, Death Star, Landspeeder, Sandcrawler, and Millennium Falcon as well as the T-16 Skyhopper that Luke Skywalker is seen playing with in the film. What has just recently been discovered is that in addition to the models, in pre-production discussions, Cantwell created illustrations of some of those same ships prior to creating the models as well as some sketches outlining how to create the three-dimensional models. These pages were saved in a collection of early sketchbooks and designs made back in 1974 and just resurfaced in 2014, 40 years later. This work represents the earliest of visualizations of the Star Wars universe, created by Cantwell for Lucas in realizing his vision.
