so these are pretty historical studios
Rex this is where they filmed a lot of
stuff for Star Wars and Empire Strikes
Back that we see on the big screen but
the studio that I really get excited
about in it goes nine eight and we're
going to come up to seven now seven is
the one where a lot of Star Wars history
went out this is where Luke gets the
lightsaber this is where obi-wan tells
him about the force so this right here
is where they film that out or you
realize this it's a movie it's not real
I believe you have you know this place
is really really cool
but what I want you to see is some
phenomenal stuff and that's why we're
really here my friend he's got some
pieces that I haven't even seen so I
think you're gonna want to see this
stuff okay where's the dead so it's
right through here Jason how are you I'm
good how are you good nice to see it
Jason I'd like you to meet Rick Harrison
hi nice to meet you Jason is part of the
Curt joiner archive the what archives
Gary Kurtz was the producer of Star Wars
Empire Strikes Back
Jason was his partner and best friend so
they formed the Kurtz Joyner archive and
they preserve Star Wars history in movie
history and Jason's not only an
archivist he's a historian and a
collector and he knows all about Star
Wars oh okay that's cool thank you so
what do we have here I brought a few
things along to show you I have pulled
out a couple of bits that we could spare
but I've also brought out some of the
more unusual things that the public
haven't really seen and if I do sell
that will help pay for some of the
restoration projects that we're doing
I've never seen anything like this this
is one of the movie posters that was
signed just before they released the
film and Gary Kurtz went round to the
cast and asked them to sign the poster
individually so it's all being signed by
everyone
so Tom Jon was an artist he ended up
doing this artwork you take a look
you've got Princess Leia Luke Skywalker
Darth Vader the droids but what's great
about this poster so look at the
credited cast okay George Lucas Alec
Guinness Peter Cushing Mark Hamill
Harrison Ford Carrie Fisher guess what
they're all on it
this is a true masterpiece Rick and it's
really almost a one-of-a-kind you're
really not gonna see this that's pretty
crazy so what else is in the box we have
here Luke Skywalker's lightsaber from
Return of the Jedi weapon of a more
civilized age this is a aluminum
original how did they make them light up
that was done wasn't lasers they buddy
no rod and it's a 3m reflective material
so when the light shines on it it
reflects back and in the animating of
the color afterwards Luke Skywalker's
lightsaber pretty incredible it is so
I'm assuming you left the best for last
I'm afraid so okay so what we have here
is George Lucas's orginal handwritten
draft of Star Wars the script
I've got your dad's amazing saga won the
Star Wars that's the entire script yep
George Lucas would sit down to handwrite
the story but then he would type in
sections of the story that he changed
and staple them over the top you see
here that they're changing the dialogue
they're cutting scenes out and they're
adding information but some of the early
names we see Jawa we the Mos Eisley
spaceport is where we meet han Solo and
Chewbacca so it's pretty amazing here as
we just see things that are changed and
altered this is something that I never
could imagine existing we're very proud
to have this in the archive solutely
that has to be worth at least five
million dollars so I'm assuming this is
gonna go to a museum ah blown or
something
our plan is to open a museum ourselves
so that people can actually see it and
obviously some like that wouldn't be for
sale there are some things that we do
sell from time to time and the poster is
something I would consider letting go
okay what do you think the posters were
this is the most desirable Star Wars
poster you to possibly own main cast all
signed by their names never even seen
that before
something like this I put the value
$50,000 in this
okay so if I retailed it after I got it
framed and everything I should be able
to get 50 grand absolutely
okay I'll give you 25 it's a significant
offer I've got things we would like to
preserve which the money be useful for I
can I'd let it go for 35 which is 33 do
it 34 then you got yourself a deal
split me down the middle you got a deal
I'll put it in my gallery I imagine it
will sell quickly I know this trip was
more for you than it was for me but am i
becoming a little bit of a Star Wars fan
just geeking out a little bit it worked
the forces works Jason thank you for
everything thank you thank you to the
crew strong archive for everything
thanks for helping us we really
appreciate it all right thanks again
thanks Jason
I can't wait to tell the guys about this
you
