A bizarre Star Wars film crews’ lunchbox with a photo of a topless woman inside has sold at auction.

The wooden container was used during the filming of The Empire Strikes Back in 1980.

It carried supplies including sausage rolls and hot chocolate for crew members working in sub-zero temperatures.

Scenes were shot in Finse, north west of Oslo, Norway, for the Planet Hoth battle scenes.

But inside the lid is a bikini-clad woman with her breasts exposed.

It went under the hammer along with other movie items.

The 20cm x 59.5cm x 32.7cm box was tipped to sell for as little as £300.

But it fetched £780 at the Ewbank’s auction in Woking, Surrey, last Friday (14 Nov), as reported on Need To Know.

The listing reads: “Wooden equipment box made and used on location in Finse, Norway.

“Constructed by the production’s carpenters for the camera department and used to carry supplies, notably sausage rolls and hot chocolate for crew members working in sub-zero temperatures.

“A genuine working object from the production, created on set, with a removable wooden piece for holding hot drinks inside, metal handles and a fitted strap for holding the box lid when opened.

“And cut out of scantily clad lady from the period to the inside of the lid, written former family forwarding address in blank ink to the outer top of the box lid, showing location use and paint wear from set handling.”

It adds: “Greg Dupre worked as a second assistant cameraman on the Planet Hoth, Finse location.

“The items offered come directly from Dupre’s personal collection of film memorabilia from films he has worked on over a 40-year period.

“These have remained in his possession until now, when they have been released for the present offering.

“And represent a seldom seen archive of memorabilia from a working film crew member on some of the seminal films of cinema history.
