Return of the Star Wars Darling Point trophy listing
Stars Wars operative Rick McCallum, the right-hand man of George Lucas during its Sydney production, is having a second shot at selling his Darling Point apartment.
It has been listed for 9 March auction through Julian Hasemer at 1st City - Hasemer + Caldwell.Eyles with $6.5 million plus hopes.
It failed to sell in 2011 when listed with $7.5 million-plus hopes.
The 370 square metres New Beach Road apartment cost $5.4 million in 2002, a then record price for the possibly Sydney's finest promenade given the Morton Bay fig trees that line the foreshore.
The whole-floor unit was designed by Iain Halliday in the L'amarre complex, developed by Barry and Christine Elsbury in partnership with the late Ron White and his widow, Robin.
It has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and an office, all with direct lift access from double garaging. There's also a pretty loggia overlooking Rushcutters Bay.
McCallum's Radioland Murders in 1994 was the first time he and Lucas worked.
It was during its production, Lucas confided to McCallum of the plans for three new Star Wars movies: Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (released in 1999), Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005).
Following Lucasfilm's announced acquisition by the Walt Disney Company in 2012 McCallum retired from Lucasfilm.
This year is he working on a movie drama set in present-day Jerusalem about three young boys who transform the heart and mind of an American war correspondent until fate changes all their lives forever, according to IMDb.
There's whispers Robin White's L'amarre penthouse has sold for more than its $6 million guide to businessman Stephen Johns.
