What an incredible movie poster!
A guaranteed original U.S. 'Style A' '30x40' movie poster from 1977 for "Star Wars", now known as "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope".
Written and directed by George Lucas and nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, Star Wars introduced us to Mark Hamill (as "Luke Skywalker"), Harrison Ford (as "Han Solo"), Carrie Fisher (as "Princess Leia"), Peter Cushing (as "Grand Moff Tarkin"), Alec Guinness (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, as Obi-Wan Kenobi) and a host of actors now very familiar faces to all movie fans.
This movie poster is a wonderful example of the rarer U.S. '30x40' format. These were produced on thicker paper stock for use outside U.S. movie theaters and at drive ins. Fewer were produced and then as they were used outside, even fewer survived!
The amazing artwork is by Tom Jung and we find that the thicker card-like paper of the '30'40' takes the ink better than thinner examples. The artworks always sing!
This example is the best we have ever found, save for some minor creasing to the lower edge (do check out our hi-res photos). This rare poster, from the 1977 release will look incredible framed and on display! A true collector's piece.
By the way, when 20th Century Fox created the Star Wars '30 x 40' posters, they used the same plates they had used for the one sheet, even though the one sheet is one inch taller. As a result, the text at the bottom of the '30x40's usually looks a little strange!
We only sell guaranteed original movie posters. We do not sell reproductions.
Note: This movie poster is priced unframed. Photos showing framed and 'in room' images are for illustration only. Please check our hi-res images and the sizing information shown above.
