Heritage has sold the Star Wars: A New Hope original 1977 half-sheet painting by Tom Jung for a record $3.875 million. The painting was offered in their Hollywood & Entertainment Signature Auction on December 9-10, 2025. The auction featured 600 lots of memorabilia, including items from The Wizard of Oz, Clint Eastwood’s Pale Rider gun, Elvis Presley’s Harley, and more, for a total $7.71 million.

Jung’s art was used for the style A movie poster, featuring Luke Skywalker dramatically raising a lightsaber, Princess Leia posing in front of him, with Darth Vader’s helmet looming in the background. It set a record for most valuable Star Wars collectible and piece of movie poster art sold at auction. It surpassed the sale of Darth Vader’s lightsaber, which sold for $3.6 million at Propstore, and Bob Peak’s Apocalypse Now art that Heritage sold for $687,500.

“This isn’t just a milestone for Star Wars. It’s a landmark moment for the entire field of pop culture collectibles and artwork,” Heritage’s Director of Consignments, Pop Culture & Historical Charles Epting said. “This painting defined the visual language of one of the most beloved films of all time, and its impact clearly still resonates with collectors at the highest level.”

Jung’s painting was joined by the screen-matched Ewok Village matte painting from Return of the Jedi that realized $162,500. Created by ILM matte artist Christopher Evans, the painting depicts the Ewoks’ treetop home on the forest moon of Endor.

Designed by MGM’s costumer Adrian, the hat is one of the few surviving examples and features the original chinstrap that held it in place during the flying sequences.

Garland’s original crème organdy shirt from the movie sold for $87,500, and a pair of Western Costume Company’s 50th Anniversary Commemorative Ruby Slippers brought $137,500.
