Lot 155 MARK HAMILL HERO TATOOINE LONG RIFLE USED AS “LUKE SKYWALKER” IN STAR WARS: EPISODE IV - A NEW HOPE
MARK HAMILL HERO TATOOINE LONG RIFLE USED AS “LUKE SKYWALKER” IN STAR WARS: EPISODE IV - A NEW HOPE - (TCF, 1977) This hero rifl e was used by Mark Hamill in his historic role as “Luke Skywalker” in Star Wars. It can be
seen in the early part of the saga strapped to the side of Luke’s Landspeeder, when Luke and C-3PO search for R2-D2 prior
to meeting Obi-Wan Kenobi for the fi rst time. Luke also used it prominently as he defends himself in the thrilling hand-tohand
battle with the Tuscan Raider, before Obi-Wan saves him. The rifl e is hand-carved from solid wood with metal banding,
and the barrel portion has been painted silver to resemble steel. This exact weapon can be seen in armory photographs
at Bapty & Co., who supplied the majority of the blasters and other weaponry for Star Wars during the early production
period. Measures fully 76 ½ in. long. The rifl e exhibits some minor wear and a small chip to the corner of the stock, and
appears to be missing one of the metal pieces on the side; otherwise, the rifl e is in very good condition. Originally acquired
over sixteen years ago from Bapty & Co. An instantly recognizable hero prop from the fi lm.
