The Red Squadron Leader's X-wing has been an important missing piece of Star Wars history for years, and now it's just been sold for $3.13 million.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT An important piece of Star Wars history is the long-lost X-wing of Red Squadron Leader as seen in A New Hope, and now it's just been sold for $3,135,000. The miniature has been considered "long-lost" for years as one of the original four miniature models created for the infamous battle scene of the Rebel Alliance versus the Empire over the Death Star in A New Hope.
The Red Squadron Leader's X-wing miniature has just been sold at Heritage Auctions for $3,135,000, its single red stripe confirming it to be the long-lost piece of history. The model was found with the late Oscar-winning miniature-maker Greg Jein, and it's said to be just as valuable to visual effects as the infamous ruby red slippers of Dorothy. The miniature was a part of the trench battle of the Death Star and has capabilities that include locking its S-foils into attack position.
Innovations such as Red Leader's X-wing miniature have made ILM the best of the best, leading the way to other incredible inventions such as the Volume LED screen stage technology. Miniatures are still made with incredible detail to this day, from Din Djarin's Razor Crest in The Mandalorian to Moff Gideon's Imperial light cruiser - all of which are now blended with brand-new technology to bring these scenes to life.
