Dressing a Galaxy: The Costumes of Star Wars *Deluxe Edition* #2347/2500 (2005)

Description: I purchased this new in 2005 and reviewed in one sitting and never opened again (has been sitting horizontally on shelf since so shows some minor shelf wear/aging - please reference photos). This is the Deluxe Edition limited and numbered out of 2,500 copies with many extras including original fabric swatches for many costumes including Darth Vader's cape. Description from Fandom site: Dressing a Galaxy: The Costumes of Star Wars is a reference book written by Trisha Biggar and released in 2005 that presents the costumes created by Biggar for the Star Wars prequel trilogy. The book includes a foreword by producer Rick McCallum, introduction by actress Natalie Portman, and preface by writer/director George Lucas. An index of costumes, rather than an index of the book's contents, contains thumbnails of costumes from both the prequels and the original trilogy, the latter of which were not created by Biggar; however, only costumes from the prequels are detailed in the book. Many characters in the Legends continuity were first identified in the book. The book was originally made available in two editions: a regular trade hardcover featuring only the book itself for 50.00 United States Dollars, and a deluxe edition featuring many other items, most notably fabric samples, including a piece of Darth Vader's cloak, from costumes throughout the prequel trilogy. The "Deluxe" edition was originally sold for 295.00 United States Dollars and included a bonus DVD. ~Star Wars Dressing A Galaxy; The Costumes of Star Wars (Deluxe Limited Edition)This rare and highly collectible item would be the ultimate gift for the true Star Wars fan.
