Collection introduction
Explore original movie posters from the first Star Wars trilogy, including Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. From original release designs 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. Tom Jung’s original Star Wars campaign, Roger Kastel’s dramatic artwork for The Empire Strikes Back, Tim Reamer’s Return of the Jedi poster design and Drew Struzan’s much-loved re-release imagery all helped give the saga a poster history with unusual depth.
Whether you are choosing a favourite film for your wall, looking for a memorable gift or building a wider display, original Star Wars trilogy posters offer a direct connection to the artwork that helped define modern film culture.

Collection Notes
Original Posters from the Trilogy That Changed Cinema
The original Star Wars trilogy remains one of the most recognisable 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.
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 character. A British quad, an American one sheet, a Japanese B2, a lobby card or a later re-release poster can each tell a different part of the story.
Chosen for a home cinema, a framed display, a favourite film room or simply because the artwork means something to you, these pieces remain closely tied to the films’ enduring place in popular culture.
Buying Guide
What to know before you buy
Practical notes on originality, condition, sizes, framing and delivery to help you choose with confidence.
Original cinema posters
Every poster we sell is an original theatrical cinema poster, produced for cinema use rather than as a later reproduction. It is one of the most important distinctions when choosing an authentic piece of cinema artwork.
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, clearly described and guaranteed original.
Condition and age
Condition varies naturally with age, use and format. We describe each piece carefully so you can judge its appeal both as film memorabilia and as an object for display.
Poster sizes and formats
Collections may include one sheets, quads, lobby cards, stills and other formats. Measurements, scale and format are always worth checking before purchase or framing.
Framing and display
Many customers choose professional framing or light box display depending on the format, room and style of presentation.
Packaging and delivery
Orders are packed with care and sent with the same attention we bring to sourcing and describing the posters themselves, helping them arrive ready for collection or display.
