Brian Lofthouse, Prop Man on A New Hope

Purchased from Mark Durmul “The Autograph Bounty Hunter”

“When we shot Star Wars 1976, it was the hottest summer in English history and studio shots that replicated desert sunlight with huge lamps were really bad. But when I thought my back was actually smouldering, Brian Lofthouse, my wonderfully kind and patient propsperson-dresser-technician-friend-assistant, found that the battery-pack for the eyes was shorting-out and cooking me,” he laughs.

-Anthony Daniels, Star Wars Insider 1995
