The pages had been left in a west London flat the actor rented in the 1970s.
A Star Wars film script left by Harrison Ford in a west London flat has been sold at auction for £10,795.Ford had been filming Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, which was made in Elstree Studios, Hertfordshire, and needed somewhere to stay close by.It sold for more than its pre-sale low estimate of £8,000.
The owners of the Notting Hill flat said Ford developed a relationship with them after he responded to their advert in the Sunday Times for a tenant.They said Ford was "an excellent tenant, very tidy" - but explained they now wanted to sell the script along with several other items.The script includes the film's original title The Adventures Of Luke Starkiller
The auctioned script, written by George Lucas, is the fourth draft of the first Star Wars film - which was originally titled The Adventures Of Luke Starkiller.The script is incomplete and unbound, with differing-coloured pages indicating revisions - and includes scenes and characters cut from the final edit.
A second lot was made up of other items Ford left behind in the flat, such as a letter from his agent, Patricia McQueeney, in which she discussed his contracts and future film prospects.One of the film's shooting schedules was also put on sale, which included a handwritten note that appears to refer to a meeting between Ford and the film producer Robert Watts.
"The personal provenance makes them totally unique. We hope they will be as treasured by their new owners as much as they were by the previous ones."The items were left at the Notting Hill flat Ford rented when filming the first Star Wars movie
