The Cantina scenes on Mos Eisley in the original Star Wars film stands out as one of the most beloved moments by fans and aficionados alike. Along with providing a look at a dazzling array of creatures, the Cantina serves as the initial meeting point where Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi encounter the famed duo of Han Solo and Chewbaca for the first time.
In the Cantina, viewers were also introduced to an alluring pair of twin sisters who are billed as the Tonnika Sisters. An attractive duo, the Tonnika Sisters' presence resonated with fans. From an autograph perspective, the Tonnika Sisters have earned a reputation as being perhaps the most challenging in the Star Wars realm. While the late Christine Hewett often signed on the show circuit before her passing in 2007, fellow Tonnika sister Angela Staines has remained reclusive and has virtually only signed on a couple lucky occasions for collectors. Hence, completed signed photos of the Tonnika Sisters stand as a true rarity in the Star Wars collectible realm.
That being said, we are proud to present this 8" x 10" glossy color photograph of the famed Cantina scenes featuring the Tonnika Sisters, beautifully hand signed in silver metallic marker, "Christine Hewett, Tonnika Sister, Brea/Sister," and, "Angela Staines, Brea Tonnika." Obtained in-person and in excellent condition. The rarity of this assembly of signatures cannot be overstated From The Steve Grad Star Wars Autograph Collection
