Wanted: Searching for ANH Script Cover

Author

 (Edited)

This is a little bit off the main thread subject, but I’m just looking for a .PNG or .JPG or whatever of the handwritten SW script.

Lucas’s handwriting in pencil is written on it, and the paper is simply, I believe, a standard yellow legal pad.

I’m almost certain that a good copy is included in the ‘Star Wars Vault’ book, and I swear I thought I’d seen it many other places, but a current search came up empty.

The reason that I could use this is because I’m making a little fan documentary (actually, RE-making one I already made) and I would like to use that image as part of a little computer animation I’m doing.

It's on page 10 of the big Making Of book, picture is not very big though. I can try to snap a pic of it.

Well, if you CAN, that would be good.  Really, if the handwriting is decently legible, that will be good enough.  What I'll do is turn that into a vector graphic and then use that as part of the Texture.  Currently, I just used a handwriting font that I thought sorta looked like Lucas's handwriting. 

So if it's not too much trouble, yeah, a photo would be great (especially of the lettering.)

Thanks a lot, BaronLando.

I'm working on it right now and will make sure to share the results when I'm done.

I used the program Inkscape to trace the picture you gave me, BaronLando, with the Calligraphy Brush (I did this with my mouse since I don't have a Wacom tablet or anything). 

It was just for the background of a shot that's supposed to represent George Lucas's desk when writing SW in the mid-70's.  Here's a screencap of the final render, and I'll post a link to the fan documentary it's a part of when I complete that (within a few days, hopefully):

I'm not sure what your specific subject is for the fan documentary, but the render you have there interests me!  You might want to head over to the Preservations and Other Fan Projects section and create your own topic where you can share more about your plans.

Thanks for the suggestion, bkev. I'll post a new thread there presently.


The documentary is an HD upgrade of this documentary, 'Star Wars & False Flag Terror', that I made a few years ago.  (It's basically all about the PT, and the Starkiller script is only mentioned regarding the backstory that was described by Luke Starkiller in one of the '75 drafts.)

Thanks again!
