Item Description
27x41" poster for the 1978 re-release of the classic 1977 Sci-Fi film by George Lucas. Poster features birthday cake w/the "Star Wars" logo and is surrounded by 11 of the first 12 Kenner Star Wars action figures (missing only the Jawa), which Lucas had to get permission from Kenner for their use, noted by small "'Star Wars' Action Figures Courtesy Of Kenner Products" text at bottom. Text at top reads "May The Force Be With You" w/text below birthday cake and figures reading "One Year Old Today." These "Birthday" posters were only issued to theaters that showed Star Wars for 365 consecutive days, making this an exceedingly desirable poster and far rarer than almost all other Star Wars movie posters, even those of the original 1977 release. "Star Wars Happy Birthday One Sheet" text at lower left corner. These posters were not folded and were issued rolled, as seen in the example offered here. Some scattered handling wear, most evident at bottom right corner. VF overall but could be framed for wonderful display. Highly desirable Star Wars poster.
