Released in 1980, as the follow up sequel to Star Wars (1977), Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back is the second film in the series based on George Lucas story. Considered an impactful movie on the filmmaking industry and pop culture, The Empire Strikes Back was the highest anticipated film in 1980, earning approximately $401.5 million worldwide.

The Empire Strikes Back: Part One collection is build-up of 89 pieces part of The Empire Strikes Back rare script, originally belonging to Michael Ford. Known for his Oscar-winning work on the Titanic (1997) and Raiders of the lost Ark (1981), Ford was the Art director for The Empire Strikes Back with which he received an Academy Award nomination.

Alongside a script page, Bailey captures the essence of the iconic scene and allows collectors to own a real piece of Star Wars history. “A Direct Insult” features an unforgettable drawing of Han Solo and Princess Leia with page number 7 of the script.

The script has 5 different coloured pages throughout the pages, which shows the changes between each edit that would have happened through the process of creating the film – in this case the pink pages are from a revision on 19th March 1979. This piece is in museum glass. Alongside Robert Bailey’s signature, every piece has two different coloured stamps: a red stamp for the copyrights of Lucasfilm and a blue stamp for mark Bailey as a Lucasfilm endorsed artist.

George Lucas, Star Wars creator, first noticed Bailey’s incredible talent for using pencil on paper and invited the artist to work on Star Wars Visions – which saw 30 artists create their own interpretations of characters and scenes. As a licensed Marvel artist and Lucasfilm endorsed artist, Robert captures the iconic scenes through different tones of delicate graphite and states that “Only by the practice can the dexterity of fine pencil work be kept up”. Robert Bailey brings this historic medium into the contemporary consciousness; harnessing its innate monochromatic quality to create dark, focused, and detailed artworks.

“For me, this meant more electrifying than I can describe, creating another series of work to be matched with script pages. To combine such pages with pencil drawings is surely a third dimension to bringing the dialogue and images to life! I'm sure that this collection, like the movie, will stand the test of time.” From unforgettable characters and scenes, to sets and moments that have changed cinematic history, Robert's captivating drawings stretch across the galaxy.

Works well
This stuff is pretty great I bought it for attaching tomato plants to the fence where the stems were too big to fit my smaller clip ties and even in our strong winds none of the ties have come undone so far

Nice product with lots of uses. Strong magnet and great strap
Size: Medium 16in x 1in
Used this to replace the Klein magnetic strap on my C-800 multimeter. (This is not easy and takes a lot of manipulation, but if you can get it in the plastic loop on the multimeter up past where the loop in the strap end is sewn, you can use a screwdriver through that to yank it the rest of the way). Once it’s done it’s beautiful! This thing could hold 2 dozen multimeters and it’s MUCH longer without being too long! Otherwise it’s just an awesome strap anyway. It holds a lot of weight (I didn’t test to spec) but definitely enough for what one would expect! I have both sizes, the smaller one is attached to the multimeter and the larger holds a cord to the side of my toolbox. (Tip)- to prevent slipping just put the magnetic base on the other side of the metal by the box tray and let the strap hang over (if attached to a toolbox). It adds to the weight it can hold too. (Just physics). That will work on anything vertical and thin enough to get around with enough slack to still use the strap. 👍. Would definitely buy another

An effective organizing solution for missions involving movable equipment
Size: Medium 16in x 1in
Following the compromised operation in Prague, I was tasked with organizing equipment for the embassy annex in Vienna. The VELCRO Brand Magnetic Straps provided an essential solution for securing various tools and equipment to metal surfaces, facilitating quick access during critical moments. The durability of the strap, combined with an impressively strong magnet, ensured that our gear remained in place despite variable operational conditions. However, the loop formed by the strap could be larger; it limited our options for certain garden hoses, which became a notable drawback. Overall, the robust quality of the straps enhances logistical efficiency in high-pressure scenarios. Katarina's earlier input on this product proved beneficial, although I detected apprehension in her demeanor while discussing its application. Recommendation: An effective organizing solution for missions involving movable equipment, with minor adjustments needed for cord size.
