Very good to see but the composition is poor. Harrison Ford just doesn't work in that position.

It does suggest that there may well be lots of variations in the advertising material though which is a good thing. Drew's a brilliant artist, but I think I'd prefer a less photo-realistic look this time around. The prequel posters weren't a patch on what we had first time around.

Bring back Tom Jung, and add a bit more 'fantasy' too.

This poster may as well have been assembled in Photoshop from a few photos... what's the point of that?!

I'm with you, Huey -- across the boards.

But in all honesty, I'm Star Wars postered-out.
At one point I had over 500 posters (many duplicates, commercials, etc.) for the first three films.
Then the nightmare began again when the prequels started.
I really don't want to do it again, so I'm not.

Bet you do.

Well, so far I've resisted the teaser and now this li'l Struzan piece.
So far... so good... I think...

You've got to be kidding me....

"it was handled with care ...immediately put in a Poster Tube (not everyone did this)."

haha good work.

Knowing Disney, I'd think that auction will be closed down swiftly.
I mean they might be able to get away with shit like that on Craig's List, but Ebay?

jedgerley · « **Reply #1658 on:** August 20, 2015, 02:10:51 AM »

Well maybe they were making some 27x40's sponsored by HP?

And holy shit a lot of them have sold for quite a bit of money on ebay. Pics of the printer in the sold items are shown too

This is going to be hilarious.

Hang in there fella. But tell us when you've flopped.

A friend of mine bought a 1977 Star Wars Hildebrant 20x30. I am trying to find out if it's a fake? She paid $70 for it. If there is any information I can read up on about how to spot a fake I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

I do believe that is a commercial poster:

Yes it is.
I have a few originals and yours looks good from here.

Huey Dewey · « **Reply #1666 on:** September 01, 2015, 11:30:23 AM »

Just over a year on and another unfolded one just went for $454!

I think $240 for the soundtrack poster is pretty nuts...

Great pricing... great sale... SW continues to be on fire!

So glad to see these three together

erik1925 · « **Reply #1670 on:** September 13, 2015, 12:23:37 AM »

This "play on title" and the great, "spoof" imagery, (if legitimately done, that is) & combined with the apropos title, would make for a very cool, and strong poster. This rendition almost has a Belgian feel to it.

So I was laying on the bed on my lap top yesterday, with the Telly playing by it's self in the back ground. Got up, turned round to see a clip of the new Star Wars film, and I have to say Princess Leia has Not aged well.....

When she dons the slave costume in the new movie, it will be the perfect time to go to the concession stand

Fisher? Carrie Fisher?
I'm not so sure that is Carrie Fisher?

This was taken only 4 years ago.
