Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) | Original C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) Head

A screen-matched light-up C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) head from George Lucas’ Star Wars: A New Hope. C-3PO voiced the first on-screen dialogue in A New Hope and is one of the only characters to appear in all 9 films of the Star Wars saga, making Threepio one of the most memorable robots in cinema history. This head is dented on the forehead, chin and left eyebrow as a result of the attack on C-3PO, Luke (Mark Hamill) and Artoo (Kenny Baker) by Tusken Raiders. While at least two damaged-style Threepio costumes heads were made for the film, the crushing and denting effect on each was sculpted by hand and therefore unique. This piece screen-matches to the scenes where C-3PO is on the comm link with Luke, Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Han (Harrison Ford) in the trash compactor, and to the climactic medal ceremony at the end of the film. This is the only complete C-3PO helmet from A New Hope currently in a private collection and it is offered directly from Anthony Daniels.
