Item Description
Original domestic release 27x41" poster No. 77/21-0. Due to the immense popularity of this movie, there were four different printings of this "Style A" one-sheet poster. Some of these posters were released folded and some were rolled, the poster we are offering is rolled. Printed on heavy paper stock. The first printing (the poster offered here) has the original NSS number of 77/21-0, while the next three printings have the 77-21 NSS number. The first three printings all have "Style A" printed in the bottom border, while the fourth printing does not. In addition, there is both a "domestic" version of the very first printing, and an "international" version of the very first printing (the domestic version has the PG rating and the international has no rating). The poster offered here is a guaranteed original first printing of the domestic version, w/PG rating notice. Soundtrack is mentioned in relatively small print but not the later edition that was produced for record stores. This poster has the appropriate MSS exhibition notice, a sharp and clear GAU image and the 1977 copyright is correctly indented. There are no stray black lines near Luke Skywalker's belt. ©1977 20th Century Fox Film Corp. Poster features great art by Tom Jung of Luke and Princess Leia in dramatic pose w/his lightsaber pointed to the sky. Images of C-3PO and R2-D2 appear behind them, interesting in that this poster features their initial designs and not final film designs. Darth Vader appears in bkg. alongside fleet of spaceships approaching the Death Star. Scattered handling/margin wear but still Fine/VF overall.
