Prize will be created and awarded at LA Star Wars convention in May 2007
Attention Star Wars fans on the West Coast! Star Wars artist Lawrence Noble – yes, the guy who created the Yoda figure standing in the courtyard of the Lucasfilm offices in San Francisco – will be sculpting a life-sized bust of Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Star Wars Celebration IV Convention in Los Angeles from May 24 to 28, 2007.
(We’re talking about the original Obi-Wan as played by Alec Guinness here, which I find pretty ironic as he never really liked being identified with the part. RIP Sir Alec – we like your serious work too, not just the space operas.)
Fans can drop by and chat with Noble, and check out the work-in-progress as he works away.
And one lucky person will get to take the sculpture home at the end of the convention… or rather, have the final bronze version shipped to their home.
Details of the convention can be found here.
To those of you who will be attending... good luck! And may the Force be with you!
