As CBCnews.ca reports, UNB's librarian came across what appears to be an original shooting script for Star Wars.

Deep in the archives of the University of New Brunswick's library in Saint John, a famous movie script sat forgotten and collecting dust. It tells the tales of a galaxy far, far away — and no one knows how it got there.

Since February, Kristian Brown, a librarian, has been sifting through the library's extensive science fiction collection. "I was just looking actually for something else entirely and then I just found this unique looking item," Brown said.

The script is bound in blue paper, emblazoned with official Lucasfilm Industries stamps. The date of the fourth edition revised script, is March 15, 1976, which is well ahead of the film's 1977 theatrical release date.
