The final version we saw on screen wasn't necessarily how that ship started, so out of these specific ships, which one would you have wanted to see on screen

Halka Four-Den was a scout who worked with the Republic. Four-Den commanded an exploration team that traveled to the remote swamp world Dagobah, one of the first to document the planet. Four-Den and her team disappeared on the planet after calling for an extraction, as the swamp began to fight back against their exploration. They were never found.

"A SINISTER AND FORMIDABLE BOUNTY HUNTER LIKE BOBA FETT NEEDS A SIMILARLY SINISTER AND FORMIDABLE SHIP..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a selection of conceptual art pieces of Bob's Fett's Firespray-class Interceptor, Slave I, artwork by Nilo Rodis-Jamero and Joe Johnston, c. 1978-1979.

"A sinister and formidable bounty hunter like Boba Fett needs a similarly sinister and formidable ship to achieve his goals, and the memorable Slave 1 would soon prove an ugly-looking and intimidating, capable stand-out vessel of the "STAR WARS" saga."

-- STAR WARS AFICIONADO, "An "Empire" at 40: Creating "Slave I," April 2021

STAR WARS - RETURN OF THE JEDI | CARRIE FISHER "PRINCESS LEIA ORGANA" JABBA THE HUTT SLAVE COSTUME

Original and iconic slave costume production components as seen worn by Carrie Fisher as "Princess Leia Organa" in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (Lucasfilm Ltd., 1983).

Included is the original brassiere, front and back lower plate that would have been connected by a fabric loincloth, hip parts and two arm bands. These components are original production-made castings that were professionally painted in recent years. Elements of the costume are recently hand-painted in gold-tone and bronze-tones, with a metal-like finish and purposely distressed with a red undertone as it appeared on screen.

NOTE: The neck collar and chain, cloth parts and hair piece are replicas added for display only. A custom made stand and mannequin are included.

Carrie Fisher wears this type of ensemble while she is held captive by the powerful gangster Jabba the Hutt, both at his palace and while on his sail barge, the Khetanna. In a famous struggle between Leia and her captor, she manages to get behind the slug-like creature and choke him with the chains that bound her.

With only minimal direction from George Lucas initially, Aggie Guerard Rodgers and Nilo Rodis-Jamero designed the iconic costume using inspiration from the 1929 film The Desert Song and Yvonne De Carlo's "Francesca" in Slave Girl (Universal Pictures, 1947).

For scenes where Fisher would sit absolutely still, a sculpted bronze bra by designer Richard Miller, Head Jeweler for the film, was implemented. For scenes that required movement or use by stuntwomen such as Tracy Eddon, rubber or resin versions of the ensemble were used.

In an interview with Star Wars Insider in regards to wearing the ensemble, Fisher said, "It was like steel, not steel, but hard plastic, and if you stood behind me you could see straight to Florida. You'll have to ask Boba Fett about that."

Following the film, both the character Leia Organa and Carrie Fisher were seen as sex symbols. The outfit today remains one of the most iconic and memorable pieces of Star Wars and pop culture history. Only two other examples of production made and unused components have been publicly sold and no screen-used examples are known to exist outside of the Lucasfilm Archives.

Includes a DVD of the film.

BIRTH OF THE FIRESPRAY-CLASS INTERCEPTOR -- THE BIRTH OF SLAVE I.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Slave I concept art from the pre-production stages of "The Empire Strikes Back," artwork by Nilo Rodis-Jamero, c. late 1978.

STAR WARS INTERVIEWS: "How did you got the job to work on the "STAR WARS" movies "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi"?"

NILO RODIS-JAMERO: "I got a call. I met George Lucas at his house in San Rafael where I failed three questions: "Do you like science fiction books? Do you like science fiction movies? Do you like movies?" He hired me."

SWI: "For the "STAR WARS" movies the designs were mostly done by Joe Johnston, Ralph McQuarrie and you. Did the three of you had to work close together? If so, how did the cooperation go?"

NILO: "Joe and I shared a building, later an office. Ralph worked from home. George met with us every other week. We were never given assignments per se, just what we felt like doing within the story/outline George gave us.

We cooperated by seeing what each other did and what George responded to. Nothing was formal or said or assigned. It was all by feel."

SWI: "Can you tell something how you approached the job of art director and costume designer for "STAR WARS" and where you got your inspiration for the fantastic designs and drawings you made?"

NILO: "Inspiration is from George’s story, to come up with something ownable and unique to the property, something simple and easy to remember."

Resolution from largest to smallest: 1200x1767, 917x1280, & 749x941.
