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.
Collector Guidance
What to know before you buy
Practical notes on originality, condition, sizes, framing and delivery for collectors considering pieces from this collection.
Original cinema posters
Every item in this collection is original cinema material, not a modern decorative reproduction. We photograph and describe each piece individually so you can understand its format, condition and release context before buying.
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.
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 collectors choose professional framing or light box display depending on the format. Where suitable, display options can help turn a poster into a more immediate interior piece.
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.
