We are truly honoured to collaborate with Sotheby's and deeply grateful for this opportunity to bring my father's work to auction. We hope that the artefacts being offered will bring immense joy to those who will cherish them in the years to come.
In Spielberg's E.T.: The Extraterrestrial, the eponymous alien is taken trick-or-treating by his human guardians, hidden under a sheet. As he looks through the eyeholes of his makeshift costume, we see dozens of kids in costume, but one is highlighted especially: A kid dressed as Yoda, wandering down the street. E.T. follows, excitedly saying "Home!!" It’s an adorable moment and a friendly nod from Spielberg to George Lucas.
