4 pieces
Lucasfilm-endorsed Star Wars artist Robert Bailey is back with more incredible pencil originals from the legendary movie series.
Just as you can’t keep the Jedi from returning, you can’t keep acclaimed artist Robert Bailey coming back with more incredible original drawings from the Star Wars universe!
His recent Revenge of the Jedi – The Lost Script collection, which combined Robert’s detailed pencil drawings with genuine script pages from Revenge of the Jedi (the original title of Return of the Jedi) sold out fast. So if you want to secure your Robert Bailey Star Wars original piece, you’d better be quick!
Robert is one of the few people to have been made a Lucasfilm-endorsed Star Wars artist, creating fantastically detailed pencil drawings of the beloved characters from the series. Lucas spotted Robert’s previous work and then invited him to work on the book Star Wars: Visions, which saw 30 artists create their own interpretations of characters and scenes. George bought many of Robert’s prints for both himself and cast and crew members.
All Robert Bailey’s Star Wars pieces are stamped with a copyright to Lucasfilms, showing their authenticity and approval by the company behind the series.
Featured art (L-R): 'Practice Makes Perfect' (out of stock), 'Gasping For Breath' and 'Deadly Duel' (out of stock) by Robert Bailey; original pencil drawings.

The relationship between art and film has a complex connection that stretches back to the dawn of cinema in the late 19th century. Captivating audiences and challenging norms, the two are tightly bound by their shared visual power, storytelling and use of both legacy techniques and new technology, meaning the notional bridge between the two mediums is regularly crossed. We explore the film-art crossover that has resulted in both still and moving masterpieces for over a century.
Ever-evolving, fantasy art is a fascinating genre that captures the artist’s imagination with the portrayal of magical worlds and mythical subjects. Avoiding abstract forms, it tends to lean towards naturalism like Nigel Humphries or Robert Bailey’s art or embrace graphic novel aesthetics like our Marvel artworks.
After last year’s sold-out collection Revenge of the Jedi – The Lost Script, Castle Fine Art is delighted to present the latest instalment The Empire Strikes Back – Part 1 in which Robert Bailey breathes vibrant life into the film’s script through his breathtaking pencil drawings.
