Collection introduction

Explore original movie posters from the original Star Wars trilogy, including Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. From sought-after country variants to memorable re-releases, these pieces capture the imagery, scale and cultural impact of a trilogy that reshaped modern cinema.

The visual legacy of the trilogy is also inseparable from the artists who shaped it. Collectors still seek out imagery associated with Tom Jung’s original Star Wars campaign, Roger Kastel’s dramatic artwork for The Empire Strikes Back, Tim Reamer’s distinctive Return of the Jedi poster design, and Drew Struzan’s much-loved contributions to later re-release material. Together, those artists helped give the original trilogy a poster history with unusual depth - one that remains as compelling to collectors as the films themselves.

Collection Notes

Collect original posters from the trilogy that changed cinema

The original Star Wars trilogy remains one of the most recognisable and collectible bodies of movie poster art ever produced. Across Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the campaign artwork evolved with the films themselves - from the bold sense of discovery surrounding the first release to the darker, more dramatic imagery of Empire and the triumphant spectacle of Jedi.

For collectors, original posters from the trilogy offer more than nostalgia. They reflect the global marketing of a phenomenon, with different formats, artists and national designs giving each piece its own place in cinema history. Whether you are looking for a British quad, an American one sheet or a poster tied to a specific release period, this collection brings together original theatrical material from the trilogy’s most enduring era.

Original movie posters vs reproductions

An original movie poster was produced as part of a film’s theatrical advertising campaign. It is different from a later decorative print or reproduction. At Art of the Movies, we specialise in original cinema posters, lobby cards and movie stills, carefully checked and clearly described for collectors.
