Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back Slot Topper Artifact

Size: 115 in. x 32 in. x 17 in.

A casino-world what-if from a galaxy far, far away.

This Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back slot topper was built over 20 years ago as a prototype meant to sit above a bank of 3–5 slot machines—a full theatrical header piece designed to stop people in their tracks. According to its provenance, it was shown as a prototype at G2E, but never officially launched on a casino floor after Disney acquired the Star Wars rights and the licensing landscape changed (including deals with major slot manufacturers like IGT).

That’s why this piece is so rare: it’s a true one-of-one pre-launch artifact—a legit “escaped the vault” display from the era when branded slot experiences were being built bigger, louder, and more cinematic.

Why it’s special
