Help Please - Star Wars Screenplay

[OldmanFrosty]

Hi,
I have what I believe to be an original Star Wars Screenplay. After much research, it appears to be exactly the same in the font, layout, size, format, and everthing else to photos I can source on the internet.
On the bottom left of all pages it says "4ed 4/19/76" which I believe means the 4th revision of the screenplay and is the final one before filming started. It is in great condition for something that's approx 50 years old. There are no tears and appears to have the same exact clips holding it all together as the original ones I am comparing to. I am trying to determine if this is an original from 1976. There are no signatures that I have found currently on any of the pages.
Assuming it is a genuine screenplay, what would something like this be worth?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

The value on something like this is dependant on the provenance. You will likely need to do more than an internet search to authentic it and you will need to provide a history of how it got from LucasFilm in 1976 to your possession today.

This is a link to the Internet Movie Script Database, which has a digitised version of the 4th Script that you could compare pages with: https://imsdb.com/scripts/Star-Wars-A-New-Hope.html

The last verified copy of a 4th version of the script sold for £10,700 : https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...ucas-luke-skywalker-mark-hamill-b2497979.html

You will need to get your copy authenticated, but if it does prove to be real, then the c£10k valuation is the going rate - but you will need to sell it via a specialist auction house.

I will say this, if it is real, it is a pre production version (production scripts are normally different colours and have lots of edits and are almost always unbound) - All back then it was called Star Wars, the adventures of Luke Starkiller - this is a link to a scanned version of the 4th version: https://www.docdroid.net/C8Jswam/7-revised-fourth-draft-march-15-1976-with-april-19-revisons-pdf

All that said, when you compare your version's front cover to the know scanned version in the link above, yours looks wrong, so I would be sceptical at this stage - but really you need to find a film historian or/and a specialist auction house, who can do the verification for you.

Good luck with the research.
