I love that he actually wants to insure people are able to see it, as opposed to holding it in his private collection never to be seen but by a select few.
The Jewel of the Bobacabana! I believe I saw this when Gus loaned it to the EMP a few years ago. Either way, I've admired pictures of this Death Star at the bottom of those stairs for many years. Thanks for the additional views and background.
Excellent Video! It's always a pleasure for me to go to Gus's place. He has such a wonderful collection of Star Wars items. Thanks for making this video! :) Sam
I love this story and I am amazed that this bulky and fragile prop is conserved in such a good state. And I love the shirt with the very iconic german translation “Krieg der Sterne“, btw, Vader sounds most bad ass in german... ;-)
Great video, that's awesome he loans it out to museums. Did you guys ask, does he ever display it with the light on inside it? I don't think I'd be able to resist putting an LED in there and using it as a lamp. :)
The Comlink Awesome video ! If only Kylo Ren could have bought StarKiller Base at a antique store it would have saved The First Order a fortune in building materials ! ha ha :)
The last time I saw any trace of this Death Star was the picture of it sitting outside of that antique shop in Missouri. It wasn't until Yesterworld Entertainment's video about lost props that they traced what happened to it: th-cam.com/video/B2iKXkWUTRM/w-d-xo.html (Well, traced it insofar as how would you know that this guy owned it unless you were subscribed to this channel?)
it really does look like the movie prop even in this environment you can just totally tell
Every time I see it, it's like seeing it for the first time all over again! Stunning.
One lucky guy! What an amazing piece of movie history. ILM, C'mon be more careful in future huh?!

+jupitertronic I don't think it's lit very often. :D
I’m just glad the person who ended up with it knows that it’s a radar dish and not a “Superlaser”.
Actually it’s called the superlaser focus lens
@@andrewparker318 actually it’s a hot chicks room....

Amazing
don't we all want to have a piece like that but people that sell them are insane with their prices they ask
David sounds skeptical lol

Looks like a small moon.
Where is the second death star??
Dude that one lowkey would look even better in. Display!
Who the hell directed this? We want to see up close shots of the model not it from 15 feet away for the majority of the video.
Damn he got greasy hair!
i still am not sure about this model, considering a glass one wwas made, with one painted side meant to light it, aswell as various matte's
