1976 Death Star Tower – Restoration by Jason Eaton

This is a screen used Death Star Tower, built by ILM for the original Star Wars. I restored it for Chris Casady, who worked on the film. It was missing a gun, which I fabricated using the same parts used originally, and painted/weathered ever so slightly to match the existing piece. It is surprisingly light as it is made out of biscuit foam, and is actually two different tower fragments presented as a whole (the towers were either grey or tan). This was truly a pleasure and an honor to work on!

Jason Eaton

Jason Eaton is a model builder who has spent the past fourteen years working with Star Wars license holders including Master Replicas, EFX, and Sideshow, creating paint masters and prototypes for many of the studio scale and scaled props, ships, and characters seen in the Star Wars films, and is honored to continue the work in this new era of Star Wars subjects. He has also performed this service for many other licenses and license holders such as Palisades Toys, Quantum Mechanix, Hollywood Collectibles Group, and Chronicle Collectibles, as well as the occasional private commission work for various private clients. His passion and dedication has sent him to the Skywalker Ranch archives, Tokyo Japan, and many other places, always striving to better the hobby and the work. He’s more of a builder and less of a collector, so sometimes his personal work will “leave the nest” to make way for the next hare-brained project! He also thinks speaking in the third person is weird.
