STAR WARS A New Hope Jawa 3x SIGNED 8x10 Photo BECKETT Death Valley JAWA'S
This wonderful 8x10 color photograph captures a behind-the-scenes moment featuring the Jawa characters from Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, signed by Tim Donaldson, Joe Weber, and Andrea Wickman-Miller — all of whom portrayed Jawas in the film. Every autograph was obtained in person by Steve Grad, Lead Authenticator at Beckett Authentication, former Principal Authenticator at PSA/DNA (2002–2016), and a regular cast member on the History Channel’s Pawn Stars since 2013.
Signers & Background
Tim Donaldson, Joe Weber, and Andrea Wickman-Miller were all local children from the Death Valley area, where George Lucas and producer Gary Kurtz filmed additional scenes for A New Hope after principal photography wrapped in Tunisia.
Because of their small size and proximity to the desert filming locations, these local children were selected by Kurtz to wear the original Tunisian Jawa costumes used earlier in production.
Their scenes were shot in Death Valley National Park, adding key moments that completed the Jawa sequences in the final cut of the film.
Item Details

Significance
This image represents a charming and lesser-known part of Star Wars history — the reshoots that completed one of the franchise’s most iconic sequences. Signed by three of the original Death Valley Jawas, this piece connects directly to the grassroots filmmaking spirit that defined A New Hope and launched the Star Wars legacy.
