Fox) Nike MAG replica shoes released in 2011 from Robert Zemeckis' sci-fi sequel Back to the Future Part II. Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) gave Marty self-lacing shoes when they time-traveled to 2015 Hill Valley. Designed by Nike shoe veteran Tinker Hatfield, Marty McFly's Nike MAG Shoes are one of the most recognizable Nikes ever made. In 2011, Nike released these licensed, high-top sneaker replicas to benefit Michael J. Fox's Foundation for Parkinson's Research. The shoes were only available through auction and were highly sought after. This pair is a rare U.S. size 7, the same size worn by Fox on set and therefore one of the hardest sizes to find. They are serial number 69 and feature soft gray canvas panels with the Nike swoosh on the side, blue-flecked foam spelling "NIKE MAG" affixed to the heel, and a foam midsole. Both are outfitted with LED lights and an illuminating "NIKE" logo on the ankle strap. These shoes come unused, new and complete with both their original brown cardboard shipping box and the original neon-yellow shipping box labeled "Magnetic Anti Gravity" and signed by Nike staff members. Included with the shoes are the original accessories: a charger, instruction pamphlet, compact disc, and a miniature DeLorean license plate. The lot remains in excellent overall condition with a functional battery and lights. Dimensions: 18.25" x 17" x 7" (46.5 cm x 43.25 cm x 7.75 cm) Contains electronic components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $8,000 - 10,000

Note other lots in the auction may close on June 30th or July 1st. A "Revenge of the Jedi" teaser one-sheet from the promotion of Richard Marquand's Star Wars: Return of the Jedi signed by Marquand, George Lucas, and producer Howard Kazanjian. Early teaser posters illustrated by artist Drew Struzan featured the film's title, "Revenge of the Jedi," before it was replaced with the final title. This glossy, full-color one-sheet featuring Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Darth Vader (David Prowse) dueling comes from the collection of Howard Kazanjian. It is signed in black ink over Vader's brow by Marquand and in gold-color ink under the title by Lucas and Kazanjian. Marquand's signature is especially rare as the director passed away in 1987. These signatures are original to the period of the film's release. The poster is in excellent overall condition with only light creasing and edge wear from being rolled for storage. Dimensions: 41" x 27" (104.25 cm x 68.75 cm) Estimate: $3,000 - 5,000

Biker scouts, known as scout troopers during production, used their unique hold-out blasters throughout the ground battle on Endor. The small blasters were carried in an ankle holster and played in several memorable scenes involving Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill.) The small blaster is a rare hero version, finished to a higher standard than the majority of the blasters made for the film and intended specifically for close-up work. It is believed that only 3-4 hero blasters were made for production and this is the only one in private hands today. The blaster is made primarily from cast resin with a bent metal trigger guard. The scope is cast separately and attached with screws; one screw cover has gone missing since production. Several specific features identify the blaster as a hero version: the intricate step-down barrel assembly, the reflector lens in the back of the scope, and the round tube-like detail at the back of the main body. The blaster is in good overall condition with some deliberate distressing for production as well as additional wear and age, including scuffing and paint chipping throughout. Dimensions: 9" x 5" x 3" (23 cm x 12.75 cm x 7.75 cm) Please note that payment plans are not available for this lot; full payment will be due within 7 business days of the end of the auction. Estimate: $40,000 - 60,000

Designed by Paykos Phior with art by Tim Reamer, this iconic poster features Luke Skywalker's (Mark Hamill) hands wielding the light blue lightsaber with matching blue borders and text. This one-sheet is autographed by Lucas and features a rare inscription, also by Lucas: "For Richard May the Force Be With You." The signature is believed to date to the period of the film's release, and the poster is in good overall condition with some minor edge wear from handling and storage. Dimensions: 27" x 41" (68.75 cm x 104.25 cm) Estimate: $2,000 - 3,000

This concept for Lucasfilm's annual holiday card design features Figrin D'An and the Modal Nodes, the all-Bith band who played their song "Mad About Me," also known as the "Cantina Band" song, in the Mos Eisley cantina. The concept was not used as the card's design went in another direction. McQuarrie, best known for his designs on the original Star Wars films, was a master artist and his painted illustrations in private collections are exceedingly rare. The illustration is rendered in mixed media on graphite-lined illustration paper and affixed to a sheet of white board labeled "17 x 22 1/2." It remains in good overall condition with paint smudging and minor edge wear from handling and storage. Dimensions: 14" x 22" (35.75 cm x 56 cm) Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide. δ Estimate: $4,000 - 6,000
