Lot 1791
Star Wars- Grand Moff Tarkin - Peter Cushing's 12ins action figure from
'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope', 1977 with the slippers for the
action figure made by the props/costume department and the slippers worn
on set by Peter Cushing during filming.
Note: During filming Peter
Cushing found the knee-high boots worn by his character, Grand Moff
Tarkin, very uncomfortable. He asked whether it would be permitted for
him to wear slippers and for filming to be arranged so that the slippers
were not visible. This became a running joke and Cushing was presented
with the action figure complete with slippers after filming was
completed.

Museum and Art Gallery as part of the 'Peter Cushing at 100' March -
June 2013
