Not that a Jedi needs to worry about what Darth Vader looks like, but if you are a civil servant in the Empire it would be very useful to know who the man in black with the shiny helmet is!

Carry this with you to avoid the telepathic strangulation when you park in his allocated space!

What is a Character Key?
An old-time traditional animator's term, a "Key" is a thumbnail of a character or a background element with color reference. Character Keys are composed of a cel layer floated over a lithographic background.  The cel features a color rendition of the character while the background features sketches and color reference.   Each character key comes matted with a title tag and a certificate of authenticity.  Matted measurements are 8 inches by 6 inches.

The process of Animation is often a collaborative effort. The evidence of this can often be seen in the long credits at the end of most animated shorts and films.

Whilst only the most talented and skilled artisans would be employed by the studios, it is often difficult to attribute the corresponding artist to the exact piece of artwork we offer.

We therefore credit this artwork as being created by a Studio Artist, acknowledging their skill and talent bringing joy to collectors around the world.

You can now get your hands on some magnificent Lucasfilm art. In addition to Lucasfilm art, we also have available Lucasfilm posters as well as Lucasfilm prints. This collection is the only place to look for Lucasfilm gifts.
